Ingredients
serves about 6
-
Unsalted butter, room temperature (for baking dish)
-
1 pound day-old loaf brioche or challah, sliced ½” thick
-
3 cups whole milk
-
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
6 large eggs
-
Whipped cream (for serving; optional)
Directions
Do ahead: Bread pudding can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
-
Preheat oven to 325°. Generously butter a 13×9” baking dish; arrange bread in dish, overlapping as needed to fit.
-
Heat milk, chocolate, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water), stirring until chocolate is almost completely melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir until chocolate is completely melted (this method prevents chocolate from burning). Let cool.
-
Add eggs one at a time to chocolate mixture, whisking to blend after each addition. Pour over bread, pressing to help bread absorb liquid. Let sit at room temperature until bread is saturated, about 1 hour.
-
Bake uncovered until bread pudding is just set (it will jiggle slightly), 30–35 minutes. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
