A bread pudding recipe is a dish that involves taking stale or leftover bread, soaking it in a flavored liquid (such as milk, cream, or fruit juice), and then baking it with additional ingredients such as sugar, eggs, and spices to create a sweet and savory dessert. The resulting dish is typically rich, moist, and tender, with a delicious combination of flavors from the soaking liquid and any added ingredients. Bread pudding can be served alone or with sauces or toppings such as custard, whipped cream, or fruit compote.
