Cranberry Bread Pudding THM E, SF

Have you ever wondered what to do with stale or loaves of bread that did not turnout right? Have you ever tried bread pudding? Bread pudding is an old fashioned dessert that our grandmas used to make. It was a handy way to use up those stale bits of bread and turn them into a delicious dessert.

In this recipe I used stale cubes of No-knead Cranberry Sourdough Bread along with fresh cranberries to give you a seasonal delicious bread pudding. The tartness of the cranberries along with the sweetness of the pudding is so pleasing to the mouth!

I love to bake sourdough bread. If you have never tried it because it seems to complicated..read this blog post. It is easier than you think. It’s all about Sourdough!

This is how my sourdough starter looks a few hours after it is fed. It gets all bubbling and doubles in size in a short time.

  1. Glenda,
    I have to say your great sourdough bread recipes have changed my life. I have made the traditional loaf, pumpkin, cranberry, rye, and bagels. They have all turned out to be fantastic. I am glad to have REAL bread back in my life. I love your cookbook and can’t wait to try the bread pudding. I have a loaf of the sourdough cranberry in my freezer and I think this is what I will do with it.

    As a note, I bake mine in long, Sassafras brand, covered clay bakers. I divide each batch of dough in half when shaping, form two small loaves, and put them together in the baker. This gives me two smaller loaves so it is easier to give one away, keep them both fresh, or freeze one. Just an idea for those of us with empty nests.
