Bread Pudding Recipe From Stale Bread

I’m showing how I turn a stale loaf into a rich, trembling bread and butter pudding—and why calling it a “poor man’s pudding” gets the dish completely wrong. I’ll explain what causes burnt sultanas, collapsed bread, and split custard, then share the careful method I use to avoid them. I choose properly stale bread, soak the sultanas, use enough butter, and build a custard that stays smooth and tender. I’ll also show why resting matters, why I trust the wobble instead of overbaking, and how gentle heat turns leftover ingredients into a pudding worth serving proudly. 0:00 Why Bread and Butter Pudding Fails 1:57 Number Six: Choose Stale Bread 2:49 Number Five: Soak the Sultanas 3:42 Number Four: Use Enough Butter 4:35 Number Three: Build the Right Custard 5:43 A Quick Kitchen Check-In 6:05 Number Two: Let the Pudding Rest 7:12 Number One: Trust the Wobble 8:24 Feed the Dry, Spare the Heat #BreadAndButterPudding #BritishPudding #BakingTips #TraditionalRecipes #ComfortFood
