Recipe video above. A quintessential British dessert and a firm favourite world-wide, this is custardy on the inside, and golden and buttery on the surface! While pre-sliced bread works a treat, it's dinner party-worthy when made with bread that can be cut or torn into cubes. Crunchier surface,

Ingredients

6 servings

8 heaped cups white bread, preferably slightly stale, cut into 2.5 cm / 1" cubes ((see Note 1 if for pre-sliced bread))
1 cup sultanas or raisins (or more!)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk ((low or full fat, not zero fat))
1 cup heavy / thickened cream ((or any other cream, Note 2 for more milk option))
3 tbsp / 40g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
30 g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted - for top pre baking
20 g / 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted - for brushing post baking ((optional))
Icing sugar / powdered sugar, for dusting
Ice cream, cream, custard, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, etc

Steps

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types)
Egg Mixture: Place eggs in a large bowl, whisk briefly. Add remaining Egg Mixture ingredients and whisk.
Soak Bread: Add bread and sultanas, briefly mix, then set aside for 3 minutes to allow egg mixture to soak through the bread.
Transfer to baking dish: Pour into a baking dish (10 cup / 2.5 litre / 2.5 quart). If you have lots of sultanas on the surface, poke them below the surface (Note 3).
Drizzle then bake: Drizzle over melted butter, then bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden on top and the inside is set but still slightly wobbly (poke to check).
Brush with remaining 1 1/2 tbsp melted butter (optional), then dust with icing sugar.
Serve - rest for a few ninutes, then serve immediately, with toppings of choice! My favourites are ice cream, custard and cream.
