After making afternoon tea sandwiches, there are lots of scraps left over from the bread. Bread Pudding is usually what we make with these scraps. You can also make bread crumbs and croutons. Bread Pudding is quick and easy to make and disappears quickly. You don’t have to wait for scraps to make it; you can use stale bread, or even fresh bread. If you really want a decadent bread pudding, use challah bread, croissants, or a brioche. You’ll just have to work harder at the gym or do a little more of whatever exercises you do.

For this bread pudding recipe, we eyeballed the ingredients and you can do the same. It all depends on how much bread you have to work with. Just make sure the liquid covers the bread and you’ll be okay. The lovely red baking dishes from Martha Stewart were perfect for these individual bread puddings. They are the perfect size for gifts!
