• 4 cups whole milk

How to Make Bally S Casino Bread Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Tear 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of day-old bread into 2-inch pieces. Place in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Add 1 cup raisins.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
5. Whisk in 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, gently pressing down with your fingers to ensure the bread is saturated. Let soak for 3 minutes.
7. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about 1 inch up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
8. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the bourbon sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
10. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Whisk constantly until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and a pinch of salt.
12. Add 1/4 cup bourbon (or to taste) and whisk until thoroughly combined.
13. Pour the warm bourbon sauce over the bread pudding either before serving or drizzle over individual servings.
