Bread pudding is a cherished dish that has been passed down through generations in my family. It’s a humble dessert, born out of the necessity to use up stale bread, but it transforms into something magical with the right touch. This recipe is a nod to my grandmother, Nana, who would make this on chilly Midwestern evenings. The bread pudding comes out golden and moist, with a comforting vanilla sauce that wraps you in warmth. It’s a taste of nostalgia, perfect for those who want to experience a slice of traditional Midwestern cooking.
This old-fashioned bread pudding pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a complete nostalgic meal, serve it after a hearty dish like pot roast with potatoes and carrots. A cup of hot coffee or tea also complements the dessert, enhancing the cozy, comforting experience.
