Ingredients

For the Pudding

  • 6 cups stale bread Best for texture; it's crucial for absorbing the custard goodness.
  • 4 large eggs Vital for richness and structure; don’t skip this key ingredient.
  • 2 cups milk Adds creamy smoothness; choose whole or your favorite dairy alternative.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Enhances sweetness and flavor depth.
  • 1 cup maple syrup The star ingredient for that rich, sweet flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Provides a warm, aromatic spice.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Elevates all flavors for a delightful finish.
  • 4 tablespoons butter Adds richness and aids in crisping the top.

For the Maple Toffee Sauce (Optional)

  • 1 cup maple syrup Enhances the sticky sweetness when drizzled warm.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Adds a luscious creaminess to the sauce.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the custard over the torn bread, gently folding to coat every piece. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture, then transfer everything to a greased baking dish.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until it’s puffed and golden brown.
  • While the pudding bakes, mix equal parts maple syrup and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until warmed.
  • Enjoy your pudding warm, drizzled with the maple toffee sauce.

Notes

Optional: Top with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavor.
