Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) day-old bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the bread, ensuring even distribution.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and chocolate chips, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 7

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
