Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs more liquid and results in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of spices: Bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover spices. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or ginger to the batter.
  • Soak the bread cubes in milk: Soaking the bread cubes in milk helps them to absorb the liquid and become soft and tender.
  • Use a variety of mix-ins: Bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover fruits, nuts, and chocolate chips. Try adding raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Bake the bread pudding until it is set: The bread pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that is easy to make. With a few simple tips, 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!
