This bread pudding is moist, sweet, and downright delicious. The praline sauce adds that extra touch of sweetness and crunch that will have you dreaming about it long after the last bite. Let’s check out what you need to make this delightful dish.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups stale bread, cubed
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large baking dish and grease it up to prevent any sticking.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and raisins (if you’re using them). Set it aside for a bit.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon until everything is nicely blended. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes and let it soak for around 20-30 minutes. Make sure that bread is soaked all the way through for that moist goodness!
- While that’s soaking, let’s prepare the praline sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and pecans, bringing it to a gentle boil. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken—this should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Now, once your bread is all soaked up, pour it into that greased baking dish. Drizzle some of the praline sauce over the top before baking.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is a gorgeous golden brown and the pudding has set. You can check it with a knife; it should come out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve it warm drizzled with more of that divine praline sauce. Trust me, this is everything!
