Imagine the soft texture of gently baked bread soaked in a rich, caramel sauce – it’s a taste of heaven on earth!
- 1 loaf day-old bread, cubed,
- 4 cups milk,
- 3 eggs,
- 1 cup granulated sugar,
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract,
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon,
- 1 cup caramel sauce,
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional),
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Stir in the cubed bread and raisins into the mix, ensuring each piece is well coated. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared dish, drizzle with half of the caramel sauce, then add the remaining bread mixture.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, pour the remaining caramel sauce over the top, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until set and golden brown on top.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This bread pudding is delicious whether served warm or cold. Enjoy a slice with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
