Description
Easy Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups of day-old bread, cubed (about 1 loaf)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. If desired, add raisins or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Gently fold the bread to ensure even soaking. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Make the Rum Sauce: While the pudding is baking, prepare the rum sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in dark rum and vanilla extract.
