Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 T light brown sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 T granulated sugar
1 loaf challah bread, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
9 large egg yolks
4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp table salt
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups milk
2 t unsalted butter, melted

Spread bread cubes in single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake, tossing occasionally, until just dry, about 15 minutes, switching trays from top to bottom racks halfway through.

Sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over top.

Transfer to wire rack and cool until pudding is set and just warm, about 45 minutes.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients involved.

This bread pudding was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a more moist bread.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this bread pudding was. I'm not usually a fan of bread pudding, but this one was moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again.

This is the best bread pudding recipe I've ever tried. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use any kind of bread, too.

I've made this bread pudding several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The custard is rich and creamy, and the bread is perfectly tender. I love that I can use up leftover bread in this recipe, too.

This bread pudding was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and turned out so moist and flavorful. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the custard mixture, and it gave the bread pudding a wonderful warm flavor.
