Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, apple syrup, raw sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Stir in the half-and-half and milk until well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Place the cubed French bread and currants into a generously buttered large baking dish (9x13 inch). Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring that all the bread is evenly coated. Gently press down to help the bread absorb the liquid. (5 minutes)

03

Step

30 mins

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the bread to fully soak up the custard. (30+ minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover the baking dish. (5 minutes)

05

Step

45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the bread pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take approximately 45 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the bread cubes lightly before adding them to the baking dish.
If you don't have apple syrup, maple syrup or even honey will work beautifully.
Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits, such as raisins or cranberries.
A dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of warm cream elevates the presentation.
