Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients until smooth texture.
- Pour into a greased loaf or square baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture. If you don't have homemade biscuits, store-bought ones can work in a pinch, or you can substitute with leftover bread. Ensure the biscuits are slightly stale to absorb the mixture better. Mixing well is key to achieving a smooth texture without lumps.
Serving Suggestions
Dora's Bread Pudding is delightful on its own or served warm with a drizzle of caramel or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Mary'S Strawberry Buttermilk Salad for a refreshing contrast. You can also enjoy it with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit for added flavor.

Leftover bread pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm individual portions in the microwave or bake in the oven at 350°F until heated through. Adding a splash of milk can help restore moisture during reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of bread for this recipe?
Yes, while homemade biscuits are traditional, you can substitute with brioche, croissants, or even day-old bagels for a unique twist. Just ensure they are slightly stale for the best texture.
