Best Procedure

Since we now have all of the necessary ingredients ready, I will explain to you the steps on how to make Bread Pudding without any hassle.

Step 1: Preheating the Oven

  • Preheat your oven at 350 degrees of Fahrenheit If your bread pudding is perfectly cooked all the way through, it ensures that your bread pudding is evenly browned.

Step 2: Bread Preparation

  • Grab a large bowl and start Peacefully ripping your bread into smaller pieces. If neatness is not something you are a fan of, perfect! It’s the right direction! The size of the pieces should be appropriate so that custard can flow into the bread.

Step 3: Prepare the custard mixture

Pour and whisk all the following into a different bowl:

  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 2 Cups Whole Milk
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • One Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • One Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon (if you want to include it)
  • Pinch of Salt

Lastly, mix all of the ingredients until you have a nice thick cream.

Step 4: mixing in the bread with the custard

Now since you have made the custard, pour that mix over the torn pieces of bread, making sure to coat every piece slightly. Now, this step is very important—let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, to allow the bread to get soaked in the custard.

Step 5: Raisins, chocolate chips and nuts oh my!

After the 20 minutes have passed, now is the perfect time to throw in chocolate chips and raisins. Or if you want to switch things up a bit, and you are looking for a more adult approach, feel free to put some nuts or bourbon inside. Just mix them slowly.

Step 6: Prepare the Baking Dish

Take a baking dish, ideally one that is 9 by 13 inches and grease it using some butter or cooking spray. Then grab the bread mixture and place it inside the baking dish, making sure to spread it evenly.

Step 7: Bake

You need to bake it in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for around 45-50 minutes. The center of the mix, when prodded with a fork or knife should feel firm, and the top needs to be golden brown. In case you need additional variety, you can shake the dish. The mix would still wiggle a bit but remain firm.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Remove the tin from the oven and wait for approximately ten minutes for it to cool down. Now is the perfect time to get started on the delicious and enticing sauce to go with your bread pudding, which you will drizzle over the pudding.
