Bread Pudding Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 2.5-quart baking dish.

Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. If the bread is fresh, place it on a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 6 minutes (or until slightly dried). Cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and raisins.

In a large bowl combine the cooled bread cubes and raisins. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Gently mix until all the bread cubes are evenly coated.

Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over top.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Make the sauce while the bread pudding is baking. Combine the brown sugar and butter in a medium saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, and let boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream. Allow to cool slightly.

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the baked bread pudding and serve warm.
