Recipe View Let the pudding cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set further.

For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to drizzle over the bread.
Day-old bread works best for this recipe, as it soaks up the sauce without becoming mushy.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder can add a nice kick.
To prepare ahead, assemble the pudding and refrigerate it (covered) for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.

    This is a great way to use up leftover bread. I used Italian bread and it turned out great.

    Easy to make with ingredients I already had on hand. Will definitely make again!

    I was skeptical, but this was surprisingly delicious! The sweet and savory combination is really unique.

    My family loved this! I added a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking and it was a hit.
