How to Make Keeneland Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce

  1. Whisk 1 cup granulated sugar into 4 cups milk until completely dissolved.
  2. Add 4 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Tear 1 loaf (about 1 pound) day-old challah bread or brioche into bite-sized pieces. Place bread in the milk mixture and gently stir to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup raisins and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Gently press the raisins and cinnamon into the bread pudding.
  6. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup bourbon. Whisk until well combined and the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  9. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before ladling the warm bourbon sauce generously over the top and serving.
