How to Make Amish Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Tear 4 cups of day-old bread into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, soak the bread in 2 cups of heavy cream for 15 minutes. This allows the bread to absorb the cream for a richer pudding.
  4. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter, 4 large eggs (lightly beaten), 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the soaked bread.
  5. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined. Optional: Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped citron, raisins, or dates.
  6. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
