How to Make Ultimate Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gently add the cubed stale bread to the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the raisins (if using).
  5. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the top evenly with brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown and slightly caramelized. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
