EQUIPMENT

INGREDIENTS  

• six cups of cubed bread (such as French bread or Brioche)

• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup raisins or any other dried fruits (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS 

• The oven should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175degC). Grease a baking dish using butter to avoid sticking.
• A mixing bowl mix eggs, milk vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt until it is well-mixed.
• Place the bread cubes in the baking dish greased. If you are using raisins or dried fruits, sprinkle them on the bread.
• Pour the egg and milk mix evenly on the bread, making sure that all bread cubes are covered in the liquid. Place the bread on top gently to allow it to absorb the liquid.
• The baking dish should be covered with foil, parchment paper or aluminum to stop that the dish’s top is burning while baking.
• The bread pudding can be baked in an oven preheated for 45-50 minutes, up to the point that it is well-set and the top has a golden brown.
• After it has been baked, take it from the oven. Allow it to cool for a couple of moments before serving.
• Serve warm bread pudding or serve it warm with drizzles of whip cream, caramel sauce or a dusting of sugar powdered.
