Baked to perfection and served with a luscious homemade vanilla sauce, it’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with a classic Southern twist.

Ingredients

Bread Pudding

  • 3 cups cubed French bread
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Vanilla Sauce

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat the inside of an 8×11-inch baking dish with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Scald Milk and Butter: In a small saucepan, gently scald the 2 cups whole milk with melted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat once it reaches just below boiling point and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, stirring until combined. Slowly add the slightly cooled milk and butter mixture to the eggs, stirring gently to avoid curdling the eggs.
  4. Add Bread Cubes: Fold the cubed French bread into the custard mixture carefully, ensuring the bread is well soaked but without mashing it.
  5. Bake the Pudding: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is golden brown on top.
  6. Prepare Vanilla Sauce: While the pudding bakes, combine whole milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a low boil and thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken further.
  7. Serve: Pour about half of the warm vanilla sauce over the freshly baked bread pudding. Transfer the remaining sauce to a serving bowl to allow guests to add more as desired. Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk used to soak the bread is not too hot when adding to eggs to prevent curdling.
  • Use day-old French bread for better texture—the bread soaks up the custard without becoming too mushy.
  • The vanilla sauce can be gently reheated if it cools and thickens too much before serving.
  • Variations can include adding raisins, nuts, or a splash of bourbon to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
