Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard more easily, resulting in a moist and flavorful pudding.
  • Choose a flavorful bread: The type of bread you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your bread pudding. Brioche, challah, and French bread are all good choices.
  • Soak the bread in the custard: Soaking the bread in the custard allows it to absorb the flavors of the custard and become soft and tender.
  • Use a variety of spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are classic additions to bread pudding, but you can also experiment with other spices like ginger, cardamom, or cloves.
  • Add mix-ins: Mix-ins like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts can add extra flavor and texture to your bread pudding.
  • Bake the pudding until it is set: The pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours.

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following the tips above, you can make a bread pudding that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you have some stale bread, don't throw it away - make bread pudding instead!
