How to make Homemade Baked Pudding:

1. To make our easy homemade pudding, the first thing we must do is gather all the ingredients.
2. As it is a bread cake, it is best to use old bread or the day before, although if you want to give it a touch of different flavor I recommend using pastries instead of bread, that is, any type of sweet bread, milk bread or old croissants.
3. Place all the eggs in a bowl and begin to beat them together with the sugar until they are integrated and the yolks are completely dissolved.
4. Add the milk to this mixture, beat gently and immediately add all the pastries or bread into the bowl. The idea is that the bread is well soaked with the mixture, so remember to chop everything into small pieces.
5. To make this homemade baked pudding you can use a rectangular or round mold, the important thing is that it is suitable for cooking in the oven. So, prepare the caramel by heating the sugar and pour this into the mold, making it cover the entire base.
6. If you have doubts about this step, I recommend you look at the step-by-step liquid caramel recipe or buy ready-made caramel.
7. Pour the mixture of eggs, milk and bread into the mold and cook the homemade pudding in a bain-marie in the oven until set, for about 45-50 minutes at a low temperature, that is, about 180ºC, depending on the oven.
8. If you see the top of the bread pudding starting to brown, but the dessert isn’t quite set, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
9. Remove from the oven and wait for the mold to come to room temperature before unmolding, then reserve in the fridge and enjoy this delicious cold dessert.
10. Remember that you can decorate your homemade baked pudding with a little fresh fruit, whipped cream, condensed milk or even a little English sauce for desserts. To enjoy!
