Irresistibly Sweet Paula Deen Bread Pudding Recipe to Savor

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups cubed bread (any type works well; stale bread adds extra richness)
2 cups whole milk (for a creamy texture; substitute with almond milk for dairy-free)
1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste for your ideal sweetness)
4 eggs (beaten; these help bind the pudding together)
1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted, enhances flavor and adds moisture)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (use pure vanilla for the best flavor)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for a warm spice note)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional; it adds a lovely depth of flavor)
1/2 cup raisins (optional; they add a touch of sweetness and texture)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect baking environment for your pudding.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and milk, allowing it to soak for about 5 minutes until the bread is soft.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle in ground cinnamon and nutmeg, mixing well for a warm, fragrant touch.
Pour the egg mixture over the soaked bread, stirring gently until everything is well incorporated and coated.
If desired, fold in raisins gently into the mixture for extra sweetness and texture.
Transfer the entire mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly so it cooks perfectly.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until it’s golden brown and set in the center.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with a sweet sauce or topped with whipped cream.
