Ingredients:

- 6 cups cubed day-old bread
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
For the Heavenly Vanilla Sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions :
1. Prepare the Bread Pudding:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a casserole dish.
2. Cubed Bread Comfort:
- Arrange the comforting cubes of day-old bread in the prepared casserole dish. If you’re feeling a touch of decadence, sprinkle raisins or currants over the bread cubes.
3. Whisking Wonders:
- In a bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Let the flavors meld into a harmonious concoction.
4. Pouring Elegance:
- Pour this luscious mixture evenly over the waiting bread cubes. Gently press down to ensure every inch is embraced by the delectable liquid.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection:
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and let it bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top achieves a glorious golden brown hue, and a toothpick emerges clean from the center.
6. Crafting Heavenly Vanilla Sauce:
- While the masterpiece bakes, turn your attention to the Heavenly Vanilla Sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to dance until the sugar dissolves and the sauce achieves a heavenly consistency.
7. Serve and Savor:
- Once the Bread Pudding emerges, pour generous streams of the Heavenly Vanilla Sauce over each serving. Witness the melding of flavors and textures as you embark on a journey of indulgent bliss.
