For the Bread Pudding:
- 6 cups (about 1 loaf) of day-old bread, cubed (French or brioche works best)
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

For the Caramel Sauce (Optional):

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Pudding:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Spread the cubed bread in the dish evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing lightly to ensure the bread absorbs the custard.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top.
- Bake:
- Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to soak.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set but slightly soft in the center.
- Make the Caramel Sauce (Optional):
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully whisk in the butter until combined. Slowly add the cream while stirring. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
