  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cover the dish with foil and 15 minutes before done remove. This will help keep the top from browning. The bread pudding is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Once done allow to cool for ~20 minutes.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

*You can use French or Challah Bread if you don’t have Sourdough. The key is to make sure the bread is stale.
*Often, I don’t have time to let my bread get stale so I have a work around. Preheat oven to 275°F. Cube your bread and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place bread in the oven until dried out- 15-20 minutes. Make sure to check the bread to make sure it doesn’t start to brown.
*Depending on the size of your dish you may only need 14 oz of cubed bread. I like to make sure the dish is completely full. Anything less or more than 14-16 oz of bread may require less or more of the pudding liquid, just a heads up.
*The foil is put over the dish prevent the top from burning. Some edges might still turn a little dark but it shouldn’t affect the dish.
*If you don’t have pie spice just make your own! To make your own combine 4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Then use 1 tbs of this mixture for the bread pudding. Save the remaining spice mix in a sealed jar for other recipes (like pumpkin pie, pumpkin cupcakes, chocolate pumpkin pie,  pumpkin bread, and sweet potato pie).
