- For the Bread Pudding:
4 cups cubed bread
½ cup raisins
2 cups milk
¼ cup butter (melted)
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ tsp nutmeg
For the Vanilla Sauce:
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and raisins. Make sure the bread is in small, bite-sized pieces.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined.
Combine: Pour the wet mixture over the bread and raisins, gently stirring to ensure all the bread is soaked.

Make Vanilla Sauce: While the pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
