BREAD PUDDING RECIPE: EASY OLD FASHIONED RECIPE (Page 2 ) | August 13, 2023

Annonce:

I do believe bread pudding originated in New Orleans. (Or at least, New Orleans is famous for its bread pudding!)

But my grandma used to make this old-fashioned recipe and I fell in love with it fro the first moment I had it!

When I wanted to make this for the first time, I found a few good recipes for bread pudding in my old cookbooks, but they all had something that didn’t tickle my fancy. (Such as raisins – although you can add these if you like.)

So… I gathered all of the recipes up and came up with my own plan and I have to admit, using simple ingredients helped make this the BEST bread pudding!

INGREDIENTS

Look at these easy ingredients… I mean, you probably already have all, if not almost all, of the ingredients on hand!

6 slices (or about 4-5 cups of broken bread pieces or cubes) of stale bread buns, french bread, rolls, donuts, challah bread, toast, or another type of bread
3 Tablespoons of butter 1 tablespoon + 2 Tbsp
4 Beaten eggs
2 cups milk (or feel free to try half & half or heavy cream if that’s what you have!)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

WHAT KIND OF BREAD IS BEST FOR BREAD PUDDING?
French bread is a great bread for this recipe although I’ve used leftover sandwich bread, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and more, and it always turns out great! (Or if you have stale donuts, you may want to make this donut bread pudding recipe!)

HOW TO MAKE STALE BREAD
If you’re craving bread pudding, but you don’t have the leftover bread or the stale bread to use for it, no worries!

Grab some fresh bread and either pop it in the toaster for a bit, or cut in to bread cubes (about 1-inch pieces) and bake it in the oven on 350 for about 5-10 minutes. (Don’t burn it or turn it brown. You’re just removing as much moisture from it as you can.)

I love this recipe, and I really do think it’s the best because it only includes items I usually have on hand, resembles the old-fashioned recipe that we’ve all known to love, and I had it all put together and in the oven in a matter of minutes.
