Ingredients
- 1 loaf of day-old bread, cut into cubes (about 8 cups) (227 g)
- 2 cups whole milk (480 ml)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (240 g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100 g)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (2 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (1 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (0.5 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Caramel sauce, for serving
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Add the bread cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat the bread with the pumpkin mixture. Allow the bread to soak in the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Press down slightly to ensure the bread is submerged in the liquid.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Enjoy!
