How To Make The Best Bread Pudding - Recipe

stale bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: day-old bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber, while day-old bread is more affordable.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

butter

🥗Healthier: margarine

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Margarine can reduce saturated fat, and vegetable oil is cost-effective.

Mix 4 eggs with 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.

Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup melted butter to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.

Cut stale Hala bread into 1-inch cubes and add to the mixture.

Let the bread cubes absorb the liquid mixture for about 30 minutes.

After 20 minutes of absorption, add walnuts (1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons) on top if desired, along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a little more cinnamon.

Stir the mixture slightly and pour it into a greased pan, pushing it to fit inside the pan.

Sprinkle additional cinnamon and brown sugar on top before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour.
