Ingredients
- 8 cups, cubed day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let the raisins soak for 10 minutes to plump up.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat. Let the bread soak for about 5-10 minutes until it absorbs some of the liquid.
Step 5
Fold in the crushed pineapple and the soaked raisins (along with any remaining rum). Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
Step 8
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
