Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups whole milk, ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir occasionally until the butter melts, then set aside to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
3. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish and put the bread cubes in it.
4. When the milk mixture is just warm to the touch, whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the 1 tablespoon vanilla. Pour the custard over the bread, making sure every dry piece is soaked. Optionally, let it sit for 20–30 minutes.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
6. For the sauce, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the butter and sugar melt and the mixture steams.
7. Dissolve 2 tablespoons cornstarch in ¼ cup water (or use bourbon or rum). Once the milk mixture steams, stir in the cornstarch and keep stirring until thickened.
8. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla and salt to taste, if desired. Pour some sauce over the warm bread pudding and serve the rest alongside.
