Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 cups cubed challah or brioche bread (about 12 ounces; 1-inch cubes)
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs plus 6 yolks
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
  • Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
  • Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

  • Use a variety of breads: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of bread for your pudding. This will give it a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Soak the bread in milk or cream: This will help the bread absorb the liquid and soften it, making it easier to eat.
  • Add your favorite spices and flavorings: Bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover spices and flavorings. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, or almond extract to your pudding.
  • Bake the pudding in a water bath: This will help the pudding cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, top it with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. If you serve it cold, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
