Ingredients

• 6 slices sliced bread
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 2

Spread butter onto both sides of the bread slices and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Toast the buttered and sugared bread slices in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Let them cool slightly, then cut them into triangles or cubes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to create the custard base.

Step 5

Arrange the toasted bread pieces in the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are well-soaked.

Step 6

Let the bread sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the custard, then bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

While the pudding bakes, prepare the caramel sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a gentle boil without stirring further.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to bubble for about 3-5 minutes until it turns a deep amber color. Reduce the heat to low and carefully whisk in the heavy cream and salt. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Once the pudding is baked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled generously with the caramel sauce.
