The best part is that you can make this on a whim with ingredients that are readily available. Most of these ingredients you should already have on hand. How easy is that? GF Bread and Butter Pudding is a classic old fashioned dessert or breakfast that is super easy to make.

WHAT IS BREAD PUDDING?

Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert that is covered in a custard mixture. The basic formula for a delicious gf bread and butter pudding comes from three main parts: the bread, the custard and the delicious mix in’s you add for extra flavor. Bread pudding is basically a giant upgraded French toast casserole. Super quick and easy to whip up in no time, with minimal effort.

Honestly, just because something is easy doesn’t mean it’s not delicious. Back in the olden days, this simple recipe started because they didn’t want to throw out stale bread. Similar to French toast, this is another example of mom’s having a use for stale bread so that they could feed their families.

IS GF BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING A DESSERT?

Bread pudding tastes much like a traditional French toast but has a sweeter element. If you’ve never had it, please let’s change that. In fact, it’s rich and sweet, and I honestly enjoy bread pudding much more than French toast. Gluten-free bread and butter pudding makes a wonderful breakfast or dessert. I love having my bread pudding with a nice cup of English tea.

For one thing, if I didn’t have a gluten allergy I would be using Brioche bread. Even though Brioche is usually the perfect choice for bread pudding, accommodations do have to be made to make it safe for us gluten-free folks. However, in my experience, there are some great gluten-free breads that will work just fine. As for me, I recommend buying your preferred choice and go with that. Everything else we’re going to customize, so it really has that special home-made feel and taste.

WHERE DID BREAD PUDDING COME FROM?

According to historians, bread pudding can be traced by to the 11th and 12th centuries. Bread pudding came about in a way. In 13th century England, bread pudding was known as the “poor man’s pudding.” It was widely popular with the lower classes. This simple recipe started out because when it comes to food-people back then didn’t want to waste anything. Similar to French toast, this is another example of moms having a use for stale bread so that they could feed their families.

Bread pudding has changed a lot since the 11th and 12th century. I truly do think its for the better. And I’m totally glad I can eat Bread Pudding for dessert. It is one of my faves.

GF BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING TIPS-

• Again, you will want to use stale bread to make bread pudding. The bread needs to be dry in order to soak up all the yummy custard mixture. If you buy store bought bread and it’s fresh-toast in the stove for about 8 minutes.
• In conclusion, the bread pudding should be jiggly but set.
