Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed day-old bread
- 2 cups milk
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pudding evenly.
- Mix custard base: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined into a smooth custard mixture.
- Soak the bread: Place the cubed day-old bread into a baking dish and pour the custard mixture over it. Allow the bread to soak for about 10 minutes so it absorbs the custard well.
- Bake the pudding: Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and has a golden-brown top.
Notes
- Serve the pudding warm for the best taste and texture.
- Enhance flavor by drizzling with maple cream or topping with whipped cream before serving.
