How to Make Bread Pudding At Home

Step 1:

Start by preheating your oven to 350F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 2:

Break the bread into pieces and add to the buttered baking dish.

Step 3:

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and melt in the microwave. Drizzle it over the bread pieces.

Step 4:

In a mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Pour over the bread, coating each piece.

Step 5:

Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top of the bread pudding springs back when you touch it with a fork.

Step 6:

This step is optional. Make the vanilla sauce. In a small saucepan, add 3 tablespoons of salted butter and melt on high heat. Once it melts, turn the heat to medium and let the butter brown. Next, add a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir everything together, then take off from heat. Let it cool for about 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk the brown sugar and butter mixture together and slowly pour on top of the baked bread pudding.
