  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Sprinkle of nutmeg
  • Sprinkle of cloves
  • 6 cups of cubed bread

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • saucepan

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350F and grease the casserole dish.
  2. Warm the milk and butter together over medium heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. Cube the bread into the dish, stir in the egg mixture, and then pour the warm milk mixture over the top.
  5. Place the dish inside a larger dish and add water to the larger one.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes at 350F.

Notes

Notes: salted butter is fine (then skip the salt); whole milk or cream best, dairy-free milk works; use sturdy yeast bread, stale or lightly toasted. Save bread heels in the freezer until you have about 6 cups. Careful pouring and removing the water bath to avoid burns.
