No matter how much a person likes bread it is hard for one person to finish a whole loaf of bread. I used to think the only thing to do with stale bread is throw it away or feed it to the outside birds. Now I know that stale bread is one of the kitchen’s greatest gifts. There are so many yummy things to do with it.
A good place to begin exploring the possibilities of stale bread is with bread pudding. Bread pudding can be a sweet dessert or a savory main dish. Today’s recipe is a sweet dessert bread pudding. I like to very he dried fruits I use. You could also change up the spices if you wanted.
