Bread Pudding

"A loaf of regular day-old bread is perfectly fine in this dish. But for an extra-special treat, we save all the stale brioche rolls and last lingering cinnamon buns from brunches throughout the months and freeze them in a bag together. When we have enough, we make one unforgettable bread pudding. Also, bread puddings are not the place to skimp or substitute lower-fat ingredients. Just close your eyes and crack those eggs, and remind yourself that you'll be sharing this dish with a whole roomful of people."

directions

  • Butter the inside of your baking dish and arrange the bread pieces inside. If you're using raisins, nuts, fruit, or any other pudding ingredients, sprinkle them over the bread so they are evenly distributed.
  • Whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and any extra flavoring ingredients you're using.
  • Slowly pour the milk mixture over the pudding, making sure it gets into all the nooks and crannies. Cover the casserole and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight to fully absorb the custard.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 325° with a rack in the middle of the oven. Set the pudding on the counter while the oven is pre-heating to take some of the chill off.
  • Sprinkle any toppings over the pudding and bake uncovered for 45 - 55 minutes. The pudding is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the tips are starting to toast.
  • Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to a week.
