12 Comforting Bread Pudding Recipes That Will Remind You of Home

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Harvard chapter.

Avid Pinterest users, your Starbucks barista, and your mom continuously search for more ways to incorporate fall flavors into already awesome dishes. So we decided to hop on that bandwagon with a dish as classic as they come (and throw in a few exciting non-fall extras).

Typically made by soaking stale bread in a rich custard and baking it in the oven, bread pudding is a soft, warm, and satisfying delicacy, and the ultimate OG of baked dishes. Some may call bread pudding old-fashioned, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about delicious.
