You’ll need the following, everyday ingredients:
Advertisement:butter (I used salted but unsalted butter works just fine!)
brown sugar
vanilla
It’s super easy. Grab a small saucepan, and melt (on high) 3 Tablespoons of salted butter
Once melted, turned it down to medium heat and wait a bit to let the butter brown. (Browned butter is my JAM!)
Then, I add in a tablespoon or so of brown sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Stir to combine and remove from heat. Let rest about 1-2 minutes, use the whisk to mix up the brown sugar and butter mixture and pour on top of the cooked bread pudding.

BOURBON BREAD PUDDING
If you love the taste of bourbon in your bread pudding, you can easily add bourbon to the vanilla sauce recipe above by adding in a tablespoon of bourbon (less or more, depending on your taste) when you add in the sugar and vanilla.
