How to Make Fruit Nut Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups cubed stale bread, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the bread mixture and gently stir to combine. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or a mix) and 1 ½ cups mixed chopped fruits (berries, apples, pears, etc.).
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
