Bread Pudding as the Stuff Desserts Can Be Made Of


We are often busy- food preparation, meal service, clean up and new donations often occur simultaneously. There is simply not enough time to follow a recipe even if we had all the ingredients. So we tend to use techniques.



We often get donations of bread that are stale. Bread is not just the staff of life it is also the stuff that dream desserts can be made of. What is to be done with stale marble rye, rye, dinner rolls, sandwich bread, etc? Why combine it with instant cafe latte powder, raspberry juice powder, cinnamon, a suspicion of salt, cinnamon and hot water. An hour or two at 375 F.

The colour is a lovely, deep red. The texture is so moist that it feels like cake. Now to serve it. A drizzle of strawberry syrup, tow maraschino cherries and a sprinkle of rainbow sugar. MMMM!!!

Hi,

What a wonderful recycling of bread and a transformation into lucious looking and tasting dessert without the addition of a kazzillion calories! Very imaginative!
