Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (e.g., brioche or French bread)
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Step 3
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently mix until all the bread is coated in the custard mixture. Let the bread soak for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even absorption.
Step 4
Fold in the chocolate chips and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Pour the bread and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center. You can test by inserting a knife into the middle; it should come out clean.
Step 7
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
