Simplicity to its finest! This Caramel Bread Pudding is a homemade classic made with simple ingredients, mostly pantry essentials, and perfect to serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. My childhood favourite dessert/snack. Feel free to omit the raisins or add just a few if you are not a big fan. You can also experiment with chopped nuts of your choice. A delicious, easy, and quick option for entertaining guests. I have made this Homestyle Caramel Bread Pudding a gazillion times already and this never fails to impress everyone!

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into pieces (any bread, although french bread or raisin bread is great)

How to make Homestyle Caramel Bread Pudding
Step 1: Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the milk is hot, add the butter and stir endlessly until the butter has melted, then set aside.
Step 2: Place the sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla in another container. Mix well until combined before adding in the milk mixture, then set aside.
Step 3: In a casserole dish, place the torn pieces of bread, pour the batter over, and sprinkle with raisins. Place in a 350 degrees F preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes until the pudding is set.
TO MAKE THE SAUCE SAUCE:
Step 4: In a small saucepan, mix the sauce ingredients (whole milk, softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract, flour, and salt). bring the mixture to a boil while continuously whisking. When done, remove from the heat and set the sauce aside for a couple of minutes before pouring over the warm bread pudding.
