Yes, please…pile it high.
Excellent way to use up slightly stale bread, and as long as it is not seriously loaded with sugar a good breakfast. I like to mix types of breads, white, potato, sourdough, rye. I like to fruit it with raisins, dried cranberries, dried cinnamon apple chunks and even add walnut halves, pistachios or sliced toasted almonds. Oatbread with sliced toasted almonds, dried cinnamon apples and candied ginger dices is fantastic. mrAru likes it made with sliced bananas, pineapple, candied ginger and the oatbread.
Especially if the corners and edges get a little extra crispy and toasty.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE bread pudding! Yes please!
Bread pudding is a favorite.
Sometimes before cutting the bread, I make apricot preserves sandwiches with it first, then cut back on the sugar in the custard. It’s ridiculously good. My aunt tried the idea but used apple butter and put crushed walnuts in the sandwiches too, so there were crunchy nuts in just about every bite.
I love it! I’ve never made it myself, but if it’s on the menu at a restaurant, I make sure to order it.
Had me some hot banana bread pudding with caramel sauce today. Woo hoo!
I utterly don’t get it.
You’re recycling some stale bread by covering it up with some other stuff, and then trying to pass it off as a dessert.
No thanks.
A well-made hot bread pudding with ice cream is one of the best desserts ever.
I love it but really don’t like the tendency of restaurants to put chocolate in it.
Here’s a great recipe.
Have you ever tasted a good bread pudding or read a recipe? IOW are you imagining something based on insufficient experience and/or data?
The “some other stuff” usually includes a high ratio of eggs and some milk/cream to the bread, and then, of course, you BAKE IT, so it winds up being very custardy. Have you ever had kugel? Same principle, only with bread instead of noodles.
One time on her show, Paula Deen made bread pudding using Krispy Kreme donuts. Yikes.
Topped with a touch of bananas foster sauce, it’s easily my favorite sweet treat.
It adapts to almost any dried fruit or fruit preserve so the options are nearly endless. What’s not to love?
It never even occurred to me before this thread that there might be people who DON’T like bread pudding…
Mom made a lemon sauce to go along with it. I don’t need a sauce – gilding the lily. I make it in small batches – an eight or nine inch pan – so I can have it all to myself, while it’s still warm. My husband doesn’t care for it.
I would say “yes, please” but only if there are no raisins.
Had some really good bread pudding at a local Wegman’s last week. They made it with donuts rather than bread.
B.P. Oh yeah Baby !
Our new toaster oven came with a bread pudding recipe. Need to try that.
We have it about twice a month. We keep all the heels of our loaves stuffed in the back of the refrigerator. When there’s enough, we make it. I’m an experimenter and will follow different recipes to see what I get. Hubby has his recipe. It is delicious and he shouldn’t change a thing.
I love it with tons of raisins, and if it’s good bread pudding it needs no sauce.
