Instructions
- Cut bread into cubes; arrange on a baking sheet. Dry out at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat eggs together in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, white sugar, and vanilla until combined.
- Place bread cubes in a baking pan; pour milk mixture over bread cubes.
- Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, then stir in pecans.
- Pour pecan mixture over bread cubes; gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold it so pecan mixture forms clumps throughout bread pudding.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is slightly brown, 45 to 55 minutes. The center will still be a little jiggly.
- Cool before serving, at least 20 minutes.
