Creating your own Salted Caramel Bread Pudding is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed bread into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread. Gently press down to ensure all bread pieces are soaked.
5. Add Caramel: Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the soaked bread, reserving the rest for serving later.
6. Add Mix-Ins: If using, sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts over the top for additional flavor and texture.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Drizzle remaining salted caramel sauce over each serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
