📝 Preparation Steps
1
Tear the day-old bread into 1” pieces, and spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet until dried out but not hard.
day-old bread, torn into 1" pieces ($2.00)8 cups
2
Liberally grease a baking dish with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow the melted butter to cool slightly but not enough to solidify.

3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, vanilla extract, ⅔ cup of sugar, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and salt. Once combined, slowly stream in the melted butter, whisking constantly to incorporate.

4
Add the pieces of bread to the egg mixture a few handfuls at a time, tossing gently to coat in the custard. Once all the bread has been added to the bowl, let it sit for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes to soak up as much of the mixture as possible.
5
Transfer half of the soaked bread to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and any other mix-ins you’d like, and then cover with the rest of the soaked bread. Scrape any liquid left in the bowl on top of the casserole. Tuck in any mix-ins (especially chocolate) visible from the top of the bread pudding to keep them from burning in the oven.
6
Cover the filled casserole dish with aluminum foil and let it soak at room temperature for least ⏱️ 30 minutes (up to ⏱️ 2 hours), or refrigerate overnight.
7
Preheat the oven to 375℉. If the bread pudding was refridgerated, let it warm slightly before placing in a hot oven (especially if using a glass baking dish).**
8
Bake the bread pudding, covered, for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl and set aside.

9
Remove the foil, and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the pudding. Continue baking, uncovered, for another ⏱️ 20-25 minutes or until the top of the casserole is crunchy and deeply golden brown.
