Classic Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
Soak the Bread – In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and milk, letting it soak for about 10 minutes until softened.
Make the Custard – In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the soaked bread and gently stir to combine.
Bake – Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
Step 2: Make the Vanilla Sauce
Heat the Cream – In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Simmer – Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add Vanilla – Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Serve
Drizzle the warm vanilla sauce over the bread pudding.
Serve warm and enjoy!
