Description
A delightful gluten-free dessert that transforms stale bread into a warm, comforting dish with a custard-like texture, flavored with spices and optional add-ins.
Ingredients
- Gluten-free bread: 6 cups, cubed (about 1 loaf)
- Eggs: 4 large
- Milk: 2 cups (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
- Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Raisins: 1 cup
- Butter: 4 tablespoons (for greasing and melting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Cut the gluten-free bread into cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread and gently fold in the raisins.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
