How to make The Best Bread Pudding
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. And using nonstick cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Into 1 to 2-inch squares, cut the bread. Place the pieces in a large bowl.
Step 3: Add the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a different bowl. Whisk until combined. Pour this over the bread, then gently stir to coat. Allow the pieces of bread to soak for approximately 20 minutes.
Step 4: Into the prepared baking dish, spread the pieces of bread. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes until the middle is set.
Step 5: Place the sugar, flour, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Whisk until mixed. Add the butter and cook over medium heat until the butter has melted and the liquid begins to boil. Stir until the mixture has slightly thickened. Take from the heat when done and whisk in the vanilla.
