How to Make Sourdough Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. Cut 4 cups of stale sourdough bread into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups whole milk until smooth.
  5. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes in the prepared casserole dish, ensuring all the bread is moistened.
  6. Let the bread soak in the custard for at least 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the pudding is set and lightly golden brown on top.
  8. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
