| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Break the bread into small chunks in a large bowl. |
| 2 | Add the white sugar and melted butter and stir until well combined. |
| 3 | Add the eggs one at a time, alternating with the milk, stirring well after each addition to ensure thorough incorporation. Continue until all the eggs and milk are used. |
| 4 | Stir in the vanilla extract and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture. |
| 5 | Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan (Note: Sometimes the 13 x 9 inch pan may get overfull depending on the size of the loaf of bread). |
| 6 | Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the bread mixture, using your fingers to crumble it for better distribution. |
| 7 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pudding for 1 hour, or until golden brown and set. |
| 8 | Allow the pudding to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving, as it will firm up slightly as it cools. |
| 9 | Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Enjoy the comforting flavors of Aunt Emma’s Bread Pudding! |
Tips:
- For added richness, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche or challah, for variations in flavor and texture.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
