  • Bread pudding has come a long way, baby! Once eaten by the poor in early nineteenth century England to make use of stale bread, bread pudding is now considered comfort food extraordinaire.
  • You can cut or tear the bread into 1/2-inch pieces for this Pumpkin Bread Pudding recipe. You'll need about 8 slices of bread to make the 6 cups of bread cubes needed.
  • No currants? Or not a fan? Swap them for raisins to still enjoy a delicious, classic Pumpkin Bread Pudding.
  • Be careful not to turn your Pumpkin Bread Pudding upside down when removing from the pan. A springform pan is a round, deep pan with a removable side used for cheesecakes and desserts like this that must stay upright after baking.
