bread pudding with a crumb
This is a simple and delicious way to use up leftover homemade bread. I like to use Oatmeal Molasses Bread best, but Challah is also amazing. I am lucky if I get a bowl. I also have used different dairy. Whole milk, half and half, mixtures of low fat and cream, everything seems to work fine.

How To Make bread pudding with a crumb
-
Step 1Heat oven to 350 degrees F before baking. Butter a 2 quart baking dish or equivalent oven safe container.

-
Step 3Beat eggs and mix in cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
-
Step 4Put bread cubes in baking dish and mix in the dried fruit. Pour egg mixture over top. For best results let sit for 1/2 an hour AT LEAST. Overnight is much better.
-
Step 5Cut butter, sugar and flour for topping together to form smallish crumbs. Does not need to be perfect, but the butter should be even distributed for best results.
-
Step 6Sprinkle the topping over the bread and egg mixture.
-
