How to make bread pudding
Bread pudding is an easy-to-make comfort food. Serve it warm in the winter or cold in the summer. Serve it plain or top it with drizzles of cream or coconut milk. Make it extra-special with a heaping helping of whipped topping. Serve bread pudding for dessert, tuck it in a lunch pail or even serve it warm from the oven for breakfast.
Instructions
Step 1 Whisk eggs and sugar together in large bowl. Add milk, vanilla and almond (optional) and blend thoroughly. Use any milk -- skim, 1%, 2%, whole, soy or coconut. Step 2 Cut up the bread: small cubes or large pieces, whichever is preferred. Bread such as Baguette or Batard that is a day or two old (and hard) works best since its soaks up the liquid without becoming soft and soggy. Step 3 Stir bread, raisins and nuts (optional) into liquid ingredients and leave to soak 15-20 minutes, stirring once or twice during that time. Spread butter on bottom and sides of baking pan. Step 4 Spoon mixture into baking pan. Sprinkle top with mixture of 1 tablespoon white or brown sugar and the cinnamon. Bake in a preheated 350-degree Fahrenheit oven 25-35 minutes, or until golden and slightly browned. Serve warm or cold.
