6 cups day-old French bread (torn into small chunks, enough to make 6 cups)
4 large eggs
3 cups milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
¼ cup Bourbon
3 -4 tablespoons sugar

1
Position oven rack in the middle position; preheat to 350.
2
Butter or spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
3
Put the torn bread chunks in a big bowl.
4
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended; then stir in the milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg (the spices will be visible).
5
Pour the egg mixture over the bread chunks and mix gently with a wooden spoon; the mixture should be moist, but not soupy.
6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan; bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and puffy.
7
Meanwhile, make the sauce--in a small saucepan, bring the cream just to a boil over medium heat.
8
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water; add to the cream, whisking constantly.
9
Return the mixture to a boil, whisk, and simmer for a few seconds, taking care not to burn the mixture on the bottom of the pan.
10
Remove from the heat; stir in the bourbon and 3 tablespoons sugar; taste to make sure the sauce is sweet enough and add more sugar a teaspoon at a time.
11
Serve the pudding with the sauce; it will have a thin consistency and will be absorbed by the pudding.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
