It's so fun to play with ingredients to make one-of-a-kind bread pudding. At it again, I created a bread pudding with a creamy bit of a tart twist. Incorporating buttermilk and cream cheese is surprisingly delicious! King's® Hawaiian rolls makes it especially yummy!

Tips:

Use stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard better and results in a more moist and flavorful pudding. If you don't have stale bread, you can dry it out by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it at 200°F for 10-15 minutes.
Use a variety of breads: You can use any type of bread for bread pudding, but a combination of different breads will give you a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include white bread, French bread, challah, and brioche.
Soak the bread in the custard: Soaking the bread in the custard allows it to absorb the flavors and become soft and tender. Be sure to soak the bread for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use a variety of mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to bread pudding to customize the flavor. Some popular options include chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, dried fruit, and spices. You can also add a layer of fruit or sauce to the bottom of the dish before adding the bread and custard.
Bake the bread pudding until it is set: Bread pudding should be baked until it is set and the top is golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size and depth of your dish. A 9x13 inch dish will typically take about 50-60 minutes to bake.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and comforting bread pudding that will be enjoyed by all. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away! Make bread pudding instead.
