How to Make Simply The Best Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until fully combined.
- Add the melted butter and whisk until incorporated.
- Cut the challah bread into 1-inch cubes. Gently toss the bread cubes with the raisins or cherries (if using).
- Add the bread cubes and raisins/cherries to the custard mixture. Gently stir until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the custard and enhances the flavor.
- Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
