Bread Pudding Base
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bread
Tear the stale French bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture over the bread pieces. Allow it to soak for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all bread is coated.
Bake the Pudding
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, serve warm with a drizzle of bourbon sauce or whipped cream.
