Easy Make-Ahead Cinnamon Bread Pudding (The Best Cinnamon Bread Recipe) Preparation time: 15 minutesCooking time: 1 hour 10 minutesIngredients:For the Batter:-1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (measured correctly) + more for dusting the pan(this is enough for two 8×8 pans)-1 cup whole milk (about 4-5 cups)-3 tablespoons granulated sugar-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon-1 teaspoon kosher salt (if using unsalted butter, reduce the salt to about 1/4 teaspoon)-2 large eggs, at room temperatureFor the Topping:-Cinnamon Syrup: Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it begins to boil. Boil for 3-5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Assembly:Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub a 9×13-inch baking dish with a wet paper towel, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour into the bottom of the dish. Pour in half of the milk and whisk until smooth. Shake any browned bits off of the ramekins, then return them to the ramekin, standing upright on their sides so that they do not touch each other or the pan (the Parmesan will go on top).
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together all of the flour, cinnamon, salt and granulated sugar until combined evenly. In another bowl beat together both eggs for about 1 minute, until they are light yellow and doubled in volume. Add the remaining milk to the eggs and whisk until combined. Pour half of this mixture into the flour mixture, along with half of the Parmesan cheese. Whisk lightly to combine. Pour in the remaining egg mixture, followed by the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (1/8 teaspoon). Mix lightly until just combined, but do not overmix or you’ll end up with tough biscuits. Spoon evenly into the ramekins and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top and set around the sides of each ramekin. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Notes Recipe adapted from Baking: From My Home To Your s by Dorie Greenspan.
