Old Fashioned Maple Bread Pudding

Like the old saying goes “waste not, want not.” This Old Fashioned Bread Pudding is a perfect example of old-fashioned thriftiness. This recipe is a wonderful way to transform dry leftover bread it into something delicious.
Leftovers made new…
I had some leftover cinnamon rolls, in the pantry that were left uncovered and they’d dried out.

We ate it for breakfast, which I highly recommend trying sometime.

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Tips:
- Make sure your bread is dry, leave it out on the counter for a day, and it will be perfect.
- Test it with a knife and if it still seems too runny or soft, bake it a little longer.
- Tear or rip the bread. They will stick out and become crunchy and delicious as it bakes.

Hello, Alisha! Thanks for leaving a comment, I’m glad you found this recipe inspiring!
I am truly grateful to the holder of this website who has shared a great paragraph at this time.
I’ve boiled ground beef in bulk before, but I’d never seen how to do it in the crockpot. Brilliant! Pre-cooked ground beef is such a huge time saver. Thanks for sharing this.
This bread pudding was so good. I melted the butter and added to the egg mixture, made it in an iron skillet, 375 for about 35 minutes.
I am trying to cut processed sugar out of my diet, so finding yummy dessert sweetened with maple syrup was a real treat.
