Provided by BarbMazz

Categories     Bread Pudding

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 slices white bread, crusts removed
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup seedless raisins
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 cups milk
⅔ cup white sugar
4 large eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
  • Spread bread slices with butter, then use a sharp knife to cut each slice into 4 squares.
  • Arrange 1/2 of the bread squares in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with raisins and 1/2 of the cinnamon. Cover with remaining bread and cinnamon.
  • Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until a film forms over the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add sugar; stir until dissolved.
  • Pour some of the hot milk into the beaten eggs, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined. Stir in vanilla and pour mixture over the bread.
  • Set the casserole in a pan and fill with 1 inch hot water. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips for Making the Best Bread Pudding:

  • Use a variety of breads: A mix of different types of bread, such as white, whole wheat, and sourdough, will give your bread pudding a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-greased baking dish: This will prevent the bread pudding from sticking to the pan.
  • Cover the bread pudding while baking: This will help it to cook evenly.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving: This will give it a chance to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients.
