Ingredients

Scale

Bread Pudding:

  • 4 cups cubed white bread (approximately 8 slices, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Caramel Sauce:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cubed white bread and raisins.
  2. Mix Milk and Butter: In a saucepan, heat milk and butter together until the butter melts completely. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes and let it soak for about 10 minutes.
  3. Add Ingredients: Add sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and nutmeg into the soaked bread mixture; stir well to combine everything evenly.
  4. Transfer to Dish: Transfer this combined mixture into a greased casserole dish that holds at least 1 ½ quarts.
  5. Bake: Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 40–50 minutes until you see a golden brown top with a firm center; check doneness by inserting a knife, if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  6. Prepare Caramel Sauce: For caramel sauce preparation, mix equal parts of butter and sugars in another saucepan over medium heat while stirring continuously until it thickens and starts boiling within about 5–8 minutes.
