Bread pudding

Bread Pudding is a popular dessert made with stale bread, milk, eggs, and sugar. It is often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and may include raisins or other dried fruit. Bread pudding is traditionally baked in a water bath and served warm, often with a sweet sauce.

History

Bread pudding has its origins in the 11th century as a way to use up stale bread. It has since become a staple dessert in many cultures around the world, including the United Kingdom, United States, Mexico, and Argentina.

Preparation

To prepare bread pudding, stale bread is soaked in a mixture of milk, eggs, and sugar. The bread is then baked until it has absorbed the liquid and the top is golden brown. Some recipes call for the bread to be soaked overnight to ensure it fully absorbs the liquid.

Variations

There are many variations of bread pudding. In the United Kingdom, it is often made with suet and served with custard. In the United States, it is commonly made with bourbon or rum and served with a sweet sauce. In Mexico, bread pudding is known as Capirotada and is traditionally eaten during Lent.
