Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
Prepare the bread:
- Place the cubed gluten-free bread in the greased baking dish. If you’re adding raisins or chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly over the bread cubes.
Mix the custard:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Assemble the Pudding:
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
