Equipment

Ingredients
  

Bread Pudding

  • 8 cups Italian bread cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with a non-stick cooking spray and add bread crumbs.
  • Add eggs, milk, sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread and gently fold until all the bread is coated.
  • Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to low and cook 3-4 hours. Just before the bread pudding is done, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. While whisking, slowly add in milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour over bread pudding before serving and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use stale bread or leave your bread cubes out for a few hours to dry out so the bread can absorb the custard readily.
  • A crock pot liner is the best way to keep the pudding from sticking. Non-stick spray may not do the trick.
  • When the bread pudding is done, you can tell by inserting a toothpick into the center and pulling it out clean.
