 | | It was first known as a "poor man's pudding" as it was made from stale leftover bread that was just moistened in water, to which a little sugar, spices and other ingredients were added. |
 | | Fast forward to today, and you will find that we still make our bread puddings with bread but the breads we use are often made especially for this pudding and the types are wide ranging; breads like brioche, challah, croissant, panettone, French, Italian and sometimes even raisin bread or scones. |
 | | Today, we are also not content to simply soak the bread in water, instead we use a rich mixture (really a custard) of milk (or cream), eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices. |
