Ingredients

• 8 cups French bread
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 3 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and place them into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes, gently pressing down with the back of a spoon to ensure the bread is evenly soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the bread pudding.

Step 6

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the praline sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and pecans. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the warm praline sauce over the bread pudding before serving, or serve it on the side for guests to drizzle as desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your rich and creamy Famous Dave's-inspired bread pudding while it's still warm!
