Bread Pudding

My family loves bread pudding so when I make this recipe, I double it and bake it in a 9x13-inch dish. Made with basic pantry ingredients and some day-old bread (try a rich egg bread or a moist white loaf), this easy recipe can be served for breakfast or dessert with milk poured over top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup raisins (Optional)
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread and sprinkle raisins over top.

Step 3

Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
