Bread pudding is commonly served with a sweet sauce, such as a caramel or vanilla sauce, poured over top.
Butter a 2 qt. baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except bread.
Add bread to bowl and toss to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared dish. Let rest 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350.F. Bake until custard is set and edges of bread have browned.
Baked in a bundt pan for ~45 minutes in total. The tops were only lightly browned, but I intend to reheat individual servings in the oven which should impart extra color. Not all of the bread was quite submerged in the custard due to the shape of the pan, but with the addition of crème anglaise sauce isn't too dry. It is not very sweet, but very rich and a small slice goes a long way.
Made this for Christmas and served with creme anglaise.
