Ingredients

• 8 cups Stale bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 quarter cup Toasted hazelnuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, and instant coffee granules over medium heat until the mixture is warm (don't let it boil). Stir to dissolve the coffee granules, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until smooth. Gradually add the warmed milk mixture to the eggs while continuously whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and hazelnut spread until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes in the mixing bowl. Toss gently to evenly coat the bread, and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the chopped hazelnuts.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chopped hazelnuts on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 10

Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optionally, pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
