The caramel bread pudding is a recycled dessert very similar to the classic caramel pudding. The variation in this recipe is the use of stale bread, which makes it an economical preparation, yet one of the tastiest I’ve ever eaten. The recipe is really simple; together with the stale bread you need to add sugar, eggs, and milk. At this point, just follow the recipe step by step.

At this point, pour the caramel into the bundt mold, swirling the mixture.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, soak the bread cut into pieces with the milk
Then blend it and add the rest of the ingredients: eggs, sugar, cinnamon. Pour the mixture into the 10-inch bundt mold.
Bake in the oven inside a container with hot water inside and bake at 350°F in static mode for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
