Ingredients

  • 1 loaf brioche bread, cut or torn into 1" pieces
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 cups (490g) whole milk
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Vanilla Glaze

  • ½ cup  (1 stick or 113g) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (119g) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Place bread in an even layer in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Let bread sit out, uncovered, overnight to harden slightly.
  • Pour raisins over bread and fold in slightly.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla. Once mixed, pour over bread. Press down to coat all bread. Let soak for 20 minutes.
  • After soaking, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean (or internal temperature is 160°F).
  • After the bread pudding has baked for about 10 minutes, start making the vanilla glaze. The glaze takes about 20 minutes to thicken.

Vanilla Glaze

  • In a saucepan, add butter, sugar, and heavy whipping cream. Set over medium heat and stir frequently until the mixture begins to thicken (about 20 minutes).
  • Stir in vanilla and remove the mixture from heat.
  • Pour glaze over the top of the bread pudding.
