Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9-inch square baking dish liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Whisk the eggs, low-fat milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add the bread cubes to the bowl. Fold with a rubber spatula until the bread is thoroughly coated in the milk mixture.

Transfer the soaked bread cubes to the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake the bread pudding on middle rack of oven for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.

Check to see that bread pudding is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

If serving warm, allow the bread pudding to cool for at least 15 minutes before plating. To serve cold, chill bread pudding in refrigerator for at least two hours. Dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Day-Old Bread is Essential 🍞
Use Italian bread that's 1-2 days old; fresh bread becomes mushy while stale bread absorbs the custard mixture perfectly without falling apart.
Temper Your Eggs First 🥚
Slowly add warm milk to beaten eggs while whisking constantly to prevent scrambling and ensure a silky, even custard texture throughout the pudding.
Soak Bread Thoroughly 💧
Cut bread into cubes and let them soak in the custard mixture for 15-20 minutes before baking, allowing proper absorption and eliminating dry spots in the final dish.
Water Bath Prevents Curdling 🛁
Bake the pudding in a water bath (bain-marie) to distribute heat evenly and prevent the eggs from curdling, resulting in a creamy texture with minimal fat.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping Trick ✨
Mix cinnamon with granulated sugar and sprinkle on top during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a caramelized crust without adding excessive sugar throughout the custard.
