Ingredients

    5 cups cubed bread, rolls, English muffins, croissants, cream puff shells, etc
    1 ¾ cups whole milk
    3 tbsp custard powder
    2 eggs
    ½ cup sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 tbsp melted butter

Tips

Spices, cocoa, and condiments may be added to the wet mixture for more thorough mixing. "Chunky" additions (i.e. chocolate chips, raisins) should be added to the bread mixture.


Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9” square pan.
Add bread to pan, spreading evenly. Set aside.
Beat remaining ingredients (milk – butter) in a bowl until smooth.
Pour custard over the bread and let stand 15 minutes, pressing down occasionally.
If bread seems dry at this point, pour in an additional ¼ cup milk to soak the top.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
