How to Make Light Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cubed bread and melted butter; toss to coat.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice.
  5. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture for topping.
  6. Add the remaining sugar mixture to the bread and butter mixture; toss gently to combine.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and vanilla extract.
  8. Gradually whisk in the milk until well combined.
  9. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the bread mixture, gently stirring to ensure all bread is moistened.
  10. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  11. Pour the bread mixture into a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  14. Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
