Ingredients

  • 1 pound of day-old sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup of raisins

For Caramel Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

For Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the cubed sourdough bread and raisins to the mixing bowl and stir gently to combine.
  • Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  • Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • While the bread pudding is baking, make the caramel sauce by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Continue cooking the mixture until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat and add the heavy cream and butter. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up.
  • Whisk the caramel sauce until it is smooth and set aside.
  • Make the whipped cream by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream on top.
