Classic Bread Pudding Recipe with Creamy Vanilla Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 10 slices hearty farmhouse-style bread, toasted and cut into cubes
• 1 cup raisins
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg egg
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Combine all ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the bread pudding.
3. Gently fold in bread cubes and raisins until evenly distributed.
4. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Cover with foil after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
5. For the vanilla sauce, whisk together milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan until smooth.
6. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
7. Drizzle the vanilla sauce over the warm bread pudding or serve it on the side.
