"I have never been a bread-pudding fan," writes Marie Hernandez of Chicago. "But after trying the pumpkin bread pudding at Wildfire restaurant in Oak Brook, Illinois, I think I've changed my mind. Had I know that this dessert could be so good, I would have started eating it long ago." Do as the restaurant does, and serve this with sweetened whipped cream.

BREAD PUDDING WITH ORANGE CARAMEL SAUCE
Posted for ZWT III for Spain/Portugal. Found this on chow.com, originally from the cookbook, Cesar : Recipes from a Tapas Bar. This recipe is designed for individual ramekins, but it can easily be adapted for a larger baking dish: You will have to bake it a little longer, testing it for doneness by inserting a knife into the center, as you would a cake; it is done when the knife comes out clean. NOTE: This needs to be started the night before.

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread for the best results. Day-old bread is ideal, as it will absorb the custard mixture more easily and result in a more flavorful pudding.
- Don't overmix the custard mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough, rubbery pudding.
- Bake the pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. A water bath is simply a larger pan filled with water that the pudding dish is placed inside of. The water helps to create a moist environment that prevents the pudding from becoming dry and overcooked.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set properly.
- Serve the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is an easy and delicious dessert that can be made with a variety of different breads. It is a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can also be made with fresh bread for a more decadent treat. With a few simple tips, you can make a bread pudding that is sure to impress your family and friends.
