Instructions for Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Recipe

To begin making the Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Recipe, preheat oven to 150 C and place rack in center of oven.

Grease a 10 x 10 square baking dish with butter. Place the cut bread cubes into the baking dish and sprinkle fruits or nuts- apples, walnuts and mixed dry fruits of your choice at this stage over the bread cubes.

In a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract; ground cinnamon, melted butter and milk/cream until well combined and fluffy.

Pour the prepared custard over the bread cubes until completely covered. Press down the bread cubes with a fork so the custard seeps into the nooks and crevices of the baking dish so they are covered fully with the custard.

Note that the pudding mixture is going to be cooked in a water bath. Place the bread pudding dish on the roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water into the roasting pan so that the water is halfway up sides of the baking pan with the pudding mixture inside it. Bake for about 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, cool slightly and serve warm. This pudding can be served cold as well.
