Ingredients:
1 loaf day-old French baguette
5 eggs
3½ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter, melted
1 ½ cups of brown sugar
1 ½ cups of shelled pecan halves
Preparation:
Step 1: Cut the bread into cube-like pieces and leave it to dry for about an hour.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 3: Beat the eggs in a large bowl until they combine well. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and mix together.
Step 4 Put the bread cubes in a baking pan and then soak with the milk and egg mix.
Step 5: Dissolve the butter in the brown sugar. Stir well, then add the pecans and stir further.
Step 6: Pour the mix from step 5 over the soaked bread, and fold the bread gently. Fold the bread so that pecans form into clumps all through the bread pudding.
Step 7: Bake the pecan fold until the top is slightly brown or for about 45-55 minutes,
Step 8: Allow the pecan to cool for at least 20 minutes then serve.
