The Old-Fashioned Dessert I've Been Making for Over 15 Years

Baked in a trusty 9×13 pan, my recipe features soft chunks of bread soaked in a rich, just-sweet-enough vanilla custard with a shatteringly crisp, butter-drenched top. This classic bread pudding is the perfect balance of crowd-pleasing treat and easy dessert, with a make-ahead moment if you want to get a head start.
