BREAD PUDDING THANKSGIVING
Good for a Thanksgiving or other holiday dessert, and also delicious as a morning breakfast. If you cannot find ciabatta bread, como, pugliese, or other European bread with holes in the dough work well. You may use any type of chopped walnut. I cook it at 350-375 for about an hour...really, when it is golden on top and squishy on the inside, yet the knife comes out clean (moist maybe, but clean) when you poke it. I know....not so technical! Also the ingredients are what I think they are, as this is one of those this-and-that recipes. I experimented with less cinnamon, more orange zest, and a splash of scotch into the liquid....it was quite a tasty variation.

Steps:
- Grease 9x9 pan with butter and preheat oven to 350 f.
- Mix in a mixer or beat thoroughly : milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt to form thin custard.
- Add and mix by hand the remaining ingredients (cube or tear the bread first) into the liquid custard.
- (I always eyeball this part, mixing the wet and dry -- usually I add the dry ingredients to a bowl, then pour the liquid until it covers a little more than half with liquid- enough that if you press down, the top parts get moist but not wet.).
- Press lightly to encourage bread to absorb custard. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 6 hours, depending on how stale the bread is.
- Pour into lightly buttered/greased 9x9 pan.
- Bake in oven for 1/2 - 1 hour or until golden brown on top but of bread pudding consistency inside.

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING
This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly grease a 10-inch (25 cm) square baking dish.
- Preheat a 6-quart (5.7 L) pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion powder, sage, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and several dashes of pepper and turn off the heat.
- Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, mixing well after each addition. The bread should be moist but not soggy, so you may not need to add all the broth.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit before serving.

Tips:
- Stale bread is best: Use day-old or even two-day-old bread for the best texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and mushy.
- Use a variety of breads: For a more complex flavor and texture, use a combination of different types of bread, such as white, wheat, and sourdough.
- Don't over-soak the bread: The bread should be just moist enough to absorb the custard, but not so soggy that it falls apart.
- Use a flavorful custard: The custard is what gives bread pudding its rich flavor, so make sure to use a recipe that has plenty of spices and flavorings. You can also add mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
- Bake it until it's golden brown: The bread pudding is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover bread. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a bread pudding that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a comfort food fix, give bread pudding a try.
