Ingredients

8 cups Sourdough Bread Cubed
4 cups Whole Milk
1 cup Heavy cream
2 cup Sugar
6 large Eggs
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

Start by cutting your sourdough bread into bite-sized cubes (around 1-inch pieces). If the bread is stale, that’s even better!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Grease a baking dish really well with butter, then place the cubed sourdough bread inside. Pour the custard mixture over the bread, making sure it soaks into all the pieces. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated, bake the bread pudding for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let the pudding cool slightly, then serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use your favorite sourdough bread. I have used cranberry orange sourdough bread, apple cinnamon sourdough bread, blueberry lemon sourdough bread, or your favorite sourdough bread recipe.
Top this bread pudding with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, your favorite homemade caramel sauce, or with a dollop of whipped cream.
