All right, folks, let’s delve into the gloriously gooey mess that is my Easy Bread & Butter Pudding. Seriously, this baby’s like a hug from the inside. We’re talking butter-soaked bread that’s crunchy on top and all sweet and custardy underneath. It’s the cozy, carb-laden answer to “what’s for dessert?”

Let’s talk about life (and my husband’s slightly embarrassing obsession). Bread and butter pudding may not be the fanciest dish in the universe, but heck, it’s like wrapping your taste buds in a warm blanket. My husband swears he’d choose this over cake any day. Maybe it’s nostalgia or just the buttery goodness, but this is our go-to when the week’s been a little too long. Literally keeps our marriage alive. (Kidding… sort of.)

Why You’ll Love This Easy Bread & Butter Pudding

Trust me, you’re going to love this pudding because:
– It’s the ultimate upcycle project for stale bread. No waste, more deliciousness.
– Loads of butter, sugar, and bread — need I say more?
– You can whip it up while binge-watching your favorite show.
– It’s like getting a sweet reward for just being an awesome person.

How to Make It

Okay, let’s hit the kitchen! Grab that stale bread, which we all pretend doesn’t accumulate until it does, right? Give it a good smear of butter on both sides. Yes, it’s a bit messy, but that’s called enthusiasm. Then lay those buttery bread soldiers into your baking dish like you’re making them cozy. Whisk up some eggs and milk — or cream if you’re feeling extra luxurious. Toss in sugar like you’re adding a bit of magic. Pour it all over the bread and do a little victory dance. Let it soak for a bit (go change into comfier pants) and then into the oven it goes. Boom! Your house smells divine.

Ingredient Notes

– Bread: The older and crustier, the better. Just like… no, actually just bread. Soft, fresh stuff makes it mushy, and we don’t want that.
– Butter: Go wild. More is more. Don’t skimp; it’s the essence of life and this recipe.
– Eggs: Help bind everything into a custard delight. Happened once I forgot them, and let’s not talk about that day.

Recipe Steps

1. Butter up your bread slices like it owes you money.
2. Layer bread in a baking dish, getting cozy with each other.
3. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and maybe a splash of vanilla if you’re fancy.
4. Pour eggy goodness over the bread, letting it soak in.
5. Bake until golden, crispy, and fragrantly seductive.
6. Serve warm and feel the joy.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Keep a keen eye while baking; burnt sugar is never fun.
– Check your pantry for any fun flavors — a touch of cinnamon is never a bad idea.

Storage Tips

Pretty sure there won’t be any leftovers, but if by a miracle you do, just pop it in the fridge. A cold slice the next morning is oddly satisfying (don’t judge). Want it warm again? A quick zap in the microwave works wonders.

Variations and Substitutions

Look, the best recipes are born from desperation. Swapped milk for almond milk once; it was good. Threw in some leftover chocolate chips another time; sublime. Bottom line: get creative or just use what you’ve got.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
