Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a good quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as French bread or sourdough, will hold up well in the bread pudding. You can also use a sweeter bread, such as challah or brioche, if you prefer.
  • Soak the bread in the egg mixture. This will help the bread to absorb the flavors of the egg mixture and make it more custardy.
  • Add your favorite spices. The recipe calls for cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but you can also add other spices, such as cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding. The bread pudding is done when it is set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Spiced cranberry bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights. With its warm spices and tart cranberries, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
