SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING



Simple Bread Pudding image

This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.

QUICK & EASY BREAD PUDDING



Quick & Easy Bread Pudding image

Shortcut with eggnog and pumpkin pie spice! I also like using leftover cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread, or pannatone. Make it healthy with no sugar added bread, sugar-free hershey bars, splenda, soy or low-fat eggnog and fat free half-n-half. I also like using white chocolate chips or a white/brown combo. For a more unique flavor, use cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon (i use 1 TBS each because i like the spice) and add some rum extract. Add some nuts on top if you'd like.

Tips

  • Choose the Right Bread: Use a firm bread that will hold up well in the custard, such as a French baguette, sourdough, or challah. Avoid using soft, fluffy breads like white bread or sandwich bread, as they will disintegrate in the custard.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the bread cubes in the pan so that they can absorb the custard evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the bread will be soggy and undercooked in the center.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your bread pudding will taste. Use high-quality eggs, milk, and cream, and fresh fruit or berries.
  • Don't Overmix the Custard: Overmixing the custard will make it tough and rubbery. Stir the custard ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the Bread Pudding Until It Is Set: The bread pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet custard on it, the bread pudding needs to bake for a few minutes longer.

Conclusion

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. 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 leftover bread, don't throw it away! Make a batch of bread pudding instead. You'll be glad you did!
