Comforting Homestyle Bread Pudding


I love Bread Pudding and this has to be the one recipe that brings me so much comfort. The mouthful of sweet and cinnamon with a beautiful indulgence of custard soaked bread is just one of those Ahhhh moments. When it's made right, bread pudding is the perfect anytime dish! I don't use a lot of raisins because I am not a huge fan but you could put more if you'd like. This is also great served with vanilla bean ice cream.

BREAD PUDDING
2 cups Whole Milk
1/4 cup Butter, softened
1/3 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
3 cups Bread, tore into pieces (any bread, french bread, raisin bread, croissants, glazed donuts)
1/4 cup Raisins

SAUCE
1 cup Whole Milk
2 Tbsp Butter, softened
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Flour
dash of salt

Directions:

In a saucepan, over medium heat, heat milk. Add butter. Stir constantly until butter is melted. Set aside.

In a separate container, combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla. Slowly add milk mixture. Set aside.

Place torn pieces of bread in a casserole dish.

Pour batter on top of bread. Sprinkle raisins.

Bake at 350F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set.

SAUCE:

Mix everything together in a saucepan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Set aside for a few minutes and then pour on warm bread pudding.

Enjoy!

Sweet Dreams,
Annamaria

  2. Made this with my granddaughter who is a very picky eater. We both loved it. Made extra sauce, I like a little more. It was great.
