Keep in mind that bread pudding is not a suitable option for those on a strict diet. It's a decadent treat meant to be enjoyed in moderation!

1

Gather Your Stale Bread

Search your kitchen and gather about 8 cups of stale bread. Any type will do, so bring out those neglected slices and give them another chance to shine!

2

Prepare the Bread

Cut the stale bread into bite-sized cubes and set them aside. It's time to show that bread some love and transform it into the star of our pudding!

3

Mix the Custard

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Feel free to add some vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor magic!

4

Soak the Bread

Place the bread cubes into the bowl with the custard mixture. Gently press down on the bread to ensure it's completely soaked and every piece gets its fair share of goodness.

5

Let it Rest

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight if you have the patience of a saint). This will give the bread enough time to soak up the custard...and anticipation builds!

6

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a baking dish and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray. Trust me, this will prevent any sticky situations!

7

Bake to Perfection

Pour the soaked bread mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes until the top turns golden brown and your kitchen is flooded with a heavenly aroma.

8

Serve and Enjoy

Once your Bread Pudding is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature. Add a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for some extra indulgence. Now sit back, take a bite, and savor the magic you've created from almost-forgotten bread!
