  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For Vanilla Sauce:

  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare bread
Cut stale bread into cubes and place in a baking dish.

2. Make custard mix
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Combine
Pour the custard mixture over the bread. Let it soak for 10–15 minutes.

4. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35–45 minutes until golden and set.

5. Make vanilla sauce
In a small pan, whisk milk/cream, sugar, and egg yolk on low heat until slightly thick. Add vanilla and butter.

6. Serve
Pour warm vanilla sauce over hot bread pudding and serve immediately.

TIPS

  • Use stale bread for best texture (fresh bread becomes too mushy)
  • Let the bread soak well for richer flavor
  • Do not overbake or it will become dry
  • Add chocolate chips or dried fruits for extra taste
  • Serve warm for the best creamy experience
  • Vanilla sauce should be poured fresh before serving
