Time 1h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter, melted
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups milk
1 (1 pound) loaf soft French bread, torn into small pieces
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups white sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup raisins, or more to taste
½ pound unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with 1/4 cup melted butter.
  • Pour half and half and milk over bread in a large mixing bowl; let soak for 10 minutes before gently stirring. Stir eggs into the bread mixture until incorporated. Add sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and raisins respectively, stirring each addition into the mixture before adding the next. Spoon bread mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bread mixture is firm and pudding-like, about 50 minutes.
  • Stir 1/2 pound unsalted butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar together in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir pecans into the cream mixture, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes; pour over bread pudding to serve.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dessert! I used a store-bought loaf of French bread and it worked perfectly. The praline sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

This bread pudding was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I'll try using less eggs next time.

This was my first time making bread pudding and it was a success! The recipe was easy to follow and the bread pudding turned out moist and flavorful. The praline sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a very good dessert.

I'm not a fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts in the praline sauce. It turned out great! The sauce was still rich and flavorful, and the walnuts added a nice crunch.

The bread pudding was a bit dry, but the praline sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding more milk or cream to the bread pudding next time.
