Bread Pudding

Bread Pudding

In the Bowl

Inspired by a Banglar Rannaghar video, (my favourite videos to watch), this bread pudding reminds me of my caramel custard or flan recipe with bread added to it. I used coconut sugar in place of granulated sugar and evaporated milk instead of cream.


Ingredients
1 lb. loaf white bread, cubed
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar
1 (14 oz.) can Carnation evaporated milk
1 (8 oz.) cup 1/2 & 1/2 milk
1/4 tsp. nutmeg powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
Confectioner's sugar for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease an 8" x 8" glass baking dish.
2. Transfer bread cubes to prepared baking dish in three batches, scattering raisins over each layer.
3. Beat eggs until frothy, add sugar, evaporated and 1/2 & 1/2 milk, nutmeg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
4. Pour egg mixture over bread cubes and press down with a spatula until all bread cubes are coated with eggs.
5. Bake at 350℉ for 40-45 minutes until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish with powdered sugar or whipped cream and serve hot or chilled.
