Ingredients
– 6 cups of day-old bread, cubed (French or Brioche works best)

Instructions
Creating Whiskey Caramel Bread Pudding can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar size.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, whiskey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread. Gently stir to ensure all the bread cubes are soaked.
5. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, giving the bread time to absorb the liquid.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
9. Serve with Caramel Sauce: Drizzle warm caramel sauce over individual portions when serving. Add whipped cream if desired for an extra treat.
