Pudding from stale bread

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Stale bread is the foundation of creativity. The pudding can be made from a baguette or any leftover pieces of sweet or plain white bread. The bread should be stale, at least two to three days old. For better flavor, dry the bread further in the oven. The finished dessert can be served.

Step 7
Bake the pudding in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until a golden crust forms, about half an hour. If it browns too quickly but remains too moist in the center, cover with foil, reduce the heat to 160, and continue baking until fully cooked.
