Overnight Bread Pudding

Just in time for Thanksgiving, my Overnight Bread Pudding will come in handy on Thanksgiving morning when you have so many other things to worry about. I like to make this Bread Pudding the night before, so the morning next morning all I have to do is pop it in the oven and be on my merry way. It’s the perfect dish to kick off the delicious aromas in the kitchen on the big day!

What type of bread do I use for Bread Pudding?

You can honestly use whatever bread that you have handy. For a fluffy pudding, I would go with a loaf of bread from your local bakery vs. regular sandwich bread. Also, I prefer to use day old Italian or French loaf for my bread puddings. Make sure that you cut it into large cubes for the best results.

Can bread pudding sit out overnight?

Do not let your bread pudding sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours after it has been baked. You should make sure you eat it within 4 days.

Can you make a vegan or plant based bread pudding?

Yes, you absolutely can. I have an Apple Walnut Bread Pudding with a Maple Bourbon Glaze that does not have any dairy in it that I think you will adore. It’s just all about using the right dairy replacements.
