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. Please, if you liked it, leave me a little message, a kiss from Chicca.
