Leftover Bread Bread Pudding Recipes

LEFTOVER BREAD BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut or tear bread into 2" cubes and place on a baking sheet.
• Pop them into a preheated 325 F oven for just a few minutes (keep checking them),just to barely toast them(the idea is to dry out the bread a bit so that it doesn't all turn to mush later in the pudding).
• Set the bread cubes aside to cool when they are done.
• Using a whisk, beat together eggs, milk, marmalade, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
• Place the bread cubes into an ungreased 8 1/2" round deep baking dish.
• Sprinkle raisins over the top, then pour the egg mixture over all.
• Bake at 325 F for 40 minutes or untila knife inserted near the center comes out clean (not gloppy) and the custard seems set.
• Cool slightly before serving and chill the leftovers.
