This is our third time making this dessert this week. It’s ridiculously good! (Page 2 ) | April 23, 2025

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the milk.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour the egg mixture over the soaked bread and gently fold until well combined. If using, stir in the raisins.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
While the pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool slightly before serving. Drizzle the warm vanilla sauce over each serving.

Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, try using brioche or challah bread instead of regular white bread. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for some added texture. If you prefer a fruity twist, consider adding some chopped apples or pears along with the raisins. For a boozy kick, soak the raisins in a bit of rum or bourbon before adding them to the pudding.
