Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Bread Pudding.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In an 8-inch square baking pan, arrange the torn pieces of bread, creating a delightful base for your dish.
Step 3
Drizzle the melted butter generously over the bread, and if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some raisins on top for a touch of sweetness.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 5
Pour this creamy concoction over the bread, using a fork to gently press down and ensure every piece is soaked in the luscious liquid.
Step 6
Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed.
Step 7
Enjoy the warm, comforting aroma that fills your kitchen as it bakes!.
