Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed) day-old bread (French, brioche, or challah works best)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
• 0 as desired optional topping: whipped cream or powdered sugar

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 day-old bread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, making sure all the bread is soaked. Gently press down with a spatula to help the bread absorb the mixture.

Step 5

Let the bread sit for about 10-15 minutes to ensure it soaks up most of the liquid.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
