Half a loaf of day old bread. Time for Bread Pudding!

[maxman]

I made some white bread that was less than impressive.
I liked it, but no one else did.
Ok, it may have been a bit dense I admit.

So, with half a loaf and no one eating it, it was time to make some bread pudding.

mmmmm good.

Don't discard day old bread. Make up some bread pudding!

Always loved a good stodgy bread pub. Cold, clammy and grey and it's at its best!

Probably the only good use I've ever found for white sliced apart from making a chip butty. Once tried making bread pud with a load of leftover plain Naan. Don't....

Add some dark rum to the custard et viola...rum 'n' raisin bread pudding.

Make with panetone and it's even better.

I like buying day old Brioche. Discounted 50% but perfect for the pudding.

I have been using Paul Prudhomme's bread pudding recipe for years, which is with a Chanitlly cream served on top.

The recipe is a little different from the one that he put out before the World Wide Web came into being. One thing that was different was that he toasted the bread cubes, which I still do. The other is that he also served it with a lemon hard sauce in addition to the Chantilly cream. I save scrap pieces of bread just to make this!

I haven't had a good homemade bread pudding in years

Bread pudding with a naan? Sounds like something the Scots would try (before deep frying it)

My wife makes a mean bread pudding. With a little rum, cinnamon, etc. Woot!

And then make a chocolate sauce to put on top. Oh boy.

I'll pass on the chocolate (although yummy) and substitute whiskey sauce.

Mmm bread pudding with rasens spotted dick..

...or break or grate some dark chocolate and sprinkle between layers so it melts. Rum, chocolate, raisins and vanilla custard, I don't think it gets that much better.

SWMBO and the kids don't like bread pudding. So, I only make it once is a blue moon. LOVE the stuff, though.
