About bread pudding recipe
Bread pudding might sound a little unusual at first. If you’re making it for the first time, you might be wondering—semolina pudding, carrot pudding, moong dal pudding, and even almond pudding—talking about making these is very exciting. But bread pudding? That must be bland and tasteless. If that’s what you’re thinking, let me tell you—bread pudding might seem boring to hear about or read.
…but when it comes to taste, it surpasses all other types of puddings. Yes, this pudding is incredibly delicious! And the best part? It’s super quick to make. In just 10 minutes, you could be enjoying a delightful bread pudding loaded with dry fruits. Bread is loved by everyone, from kids to elders, and it’s usually found in our fridge—especially if there are kids in the house.
…so we often get requests to make sandwiches, bread toasts, bread omelets, and whatnot. And even if there are no kids at home, as working individuals, we usually keep a packet of bread at home for emergencies. Since bread is something that’s almost always available in our fridge, we simply can’t overlook making pudding out of it. Bread pudding tastes amazing, whether served hot or cold. Speaking from my own experience.
I absolutely love bread pudding, and I always insist my mom make it for me. Yes, it’s true that bread is made from refined flour, and too much refined flour can be harmful to the body. But if eaten occasionally, it doesn’t do any harm. There’s also an alternative—you can avoid white bread available in the market and make the pudding with whole wheat bread instead. Of course, there might be a slight difference in taste between pudding made with refined flour bread and whole wheat bread, but it’s still delicious.
Whenever I make pudding, I always use milk bread. The pudding made with it turns out incredibly tasty. Health-conscious individuals can even prepare bread at home without any preservatives, ensuring no extra chemicals or unnecessary additives are used.

Ingredients
Milk bread- 2 slices
Milk- 1 cup or less
Cream(malai)- 1 tablespoon
Sugar- 4 tablespoon
Cardamom- 1/2 teaspoon
Clarified butter (ghee)- 1/8 cup
Roast cashew- 1 tablespoon
How to make bread pudding
To make bread pudding, heat ghee in a non-stick pan and roast the cashews until golden brown. Remove the roasted cashews and set them aside on a plate. Next, add the cut pieces of bread to the same pan and roast them on medium heat until they turn golden brown. Once the bread pieces are nicely golden brown, add the cream and mix well. Now, pour in the milk and stir. You’ll notice that the bread starts absorbing the milk gradually. At this point, add cardamom powder and sugar. Keep the heat on medium and allow the sugar to mix well. When the pudding starts leaving the sides of the pan, add the roasted cashews and mix. Serve the hot bread pudding and enjoy it with your loved ones.
Tips
When making bread pudding, be mindful of the quantity of milk. I’ve used slightly less than one cup here. If you add too much milk, the pudding will become soggy, and it won’t taste as good.
If the ghee seems insufficient while roasting the cashews, you can add one more tablespoon of ghee.
Do not remove the edges of the bread while roasting, as they enhance the taste of the pudding significantly.
While roasting the bread, ensure it doesn’t burn. It should turn a golden brown color.
Bread pudding tastes best when served hot, so make sure to serve it warm.
Using cream in the pudding adds a lot of flavor, but it is optional. You can also make bread pudding using just milk if you prefer.
