I don't know about you, but old-fashioned bread pudding has been one of our family's comfort foods for as long as I can remember. It was made with thick pieces of crusty bread and then smothered in vanilla cream sauce.

What kind of bread is best for bread pudding?

We use several kinds of gluten free bread in our house. Our favorites to use in bread pudding are:

• Trader Joe's
• Udi's
• Franz Bakery
• Schar
• Canyon Bakehouse

I am sure a lot of other brands would be delicious in this classic bread pudding recipe...these are just the loaves of bread we use the most. I use mostly the "ends" to create the breadcrumbs for this bread pudding. My kids won't touch the ends (or crusts) so I save them up in a big bag in our freezer.

What to do with bread crusts and ends:

Ends and crusts come in handy when we are craving either gluten-free French Toast Casserole or even this Sweet Potato Bread Pudding.

We hope you love this old-fashioned gluten free Bread Pudding from scratch recipe."

Top with homemade sauces:

The star of this recipe is the homemade vanilla cream sauce. This recipe is quick and easy and adds a whole new sweet vanilla flavor to this easy gluten free bread pudding recipe. There is even a vegan option if you prefer.

You can also top this simple gluten free bread pudding with this homemade bourbon butterscotch sauce!

This is the ultimate bread pudding sauce, but you can also drizzle this vanilla cream on cake, pancakes, or waffles, and ice cream too!!

Can you freeze this recipe?

You can freeze this bread pudding if you have leftovers or want to serve this at a later date. To reheat, you can reheat in the microwave or thaw in the refrigerator.

How long does bread pudding keep?

Bread pudding is really easy to make, and it can last in the refrigerator for about 4 days. (My family never has dessert leftovers, but that is my best guess!)

As you scan the ingredients, you will realize this is a basic bread pudding recipe. You can most definitely vary the seasonings to make this pudding have different flavors.

Most commonly people add cinnamon to bread pudding. I have also used cardamom and ginger.

Variations:

• You can add nuts.
• Raisins, or other dried fruit. (Can't you just imagine dried tart cherries? It would be delicious!!)
• Chunks of fresh fruit like apples or apricots.
• Chocolate would be sinfully good baked into this gluten free bread pudding too!

Tools:

1. A non-stick 8x8 baking pan.
2. A strong whisk to blend up the eggs and milk.
