BASIC BREAD PUDDING II
This bread pudding is very versatile and lovely in texture. Christmas time can inspire a bread pudding by simply substituting a good-quality eggnog for the milk (or part of it). Also add a pinch of nutmeg and mace to produce a sumptuous holiday dessert. Otherwise, enjoy this just as it is with a dollop of whipped cream.

- Choose the right bread: Brioche, challah, and French bread are all good choices for bread pudding.
- Don't oversoak the bread: The bread should be just moistened, not soggy.
- Use a variety of spices and flavorings: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, or orange zest to the custard for extra flavor.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This helps to create a moist and creamy texture.
- Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a bread pudding that is both delicious and impressive. So next time you have some stale bread, don't throw it away - make bread pudding instead!
