AN EASY BREAKFAST OR DESSERT

I love this version of bread pudding. It’s not heavy at all and it tastes so fresh and not overly sweet. You can eat it as-is if you want this as a breakfast treat or if you are eating this as a dessert, you can top it with ice cream and/or a caramel sauce. This pineapple bread pudding recipe really is so easy and you may already have all the ingredients on hand!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What kind of bread can I use?

We use regular white bread for this recipe but you can also use French bread, brioche or Texas toast – whatever you have on hand.

Can I add anything more to the mixture?

Absolutely, some other ingredients that I experimented with are fresh lemon juice and cinnamon for a slightly different flavor.

What toppings go with this?

That is a personal preference but we love to serve this with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, crushed pineapple or even whipped cream.

Does this bread pudding need to sit?

No, sometimes bread puddings do need to sit to soak up the liquid but since we used regular sandwich bread, it soaks it up pretty quickly so it can be mixed and poured into the pan right away.

How do I store leftovers?

This can be stored in an airtight container or in the pan covered with plastic wrap where it will keep for up to 3 days. This can be served warm or cold.
