So Simple Cinnamon Bread Pudding
This recipe for cinnamon bread pudding is a very easy and simple one to make.
I tested many recipes and finally came up with one my family and I really liked.
A bunch of different breads were used in the taste tests and we just didn’t like how the the texture of the pudding came out.
After taking some time away from trying new recipes, I started going through some classic recipes for bread pudding that I came across from some old cookbooks of my mom’s. She collected so many great cookbooks and gave a bunch to me.
I tried out one more recipe and it was so delicious. The texture was just right. The cinnamon bread pudding was a success.
The winner I went with was an Italian bread. The kind that would usually be used to make garlic bread.
I found this bread in the bakery department of the local grocery store. The ones you see in the white paper sleeves.
A surprise was how inexpensive the bread was and how it is just the right bread for this recipe.
Bake one of these delicious puddings up soon.
Everyone will love it!

I’ve tried dozens of bread pudding recipes online and this one is BY FAR the absolute best! The custard to bread ratio is perfect, although I admit I didn’t measure my bread, I just used a standard size loaf of brioche and the custard ratio was perfect. I also used a deep dish 8×8 pan and it still turned out absolutely perfect. I served it for Christmas Eve dinner and everyone said it’s the best they have ever had. This one is going in the recipe book! Thank you!
Hi Jill,
