How to Make English Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cube stale bread (about 4 cups) into 1-inch pieces. Gently soak the bread cubes in 1 ½ cups of milk for 30 minutes. Gently squeeze out excess milk after soaking.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the soaked bread, 2 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup milk.
  4. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  6. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
