CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BREAD PUDDING
Making bread pudding isn’t difficult at all. Watch the video and see for yourself. It’s pretty easy, which makes it a great recipe for new bakers or people that aren’t very comfortable in the kitchen.
The key to a really good bread pudding is making sure that the bread is thoroughly soaked – think french toast. It’s basically the same concept. You are soaking bread in a custard.
The difference is french toast would fall apart, but that’s exactly what we’re looking for in bread pudding. This is a very forgiving dessert, it doesn’t require much fussing about with it and it’s insanely delicious. What more could you ask for in a sweet ending? 
If you prefer your bread pudding with a sauce, check out the link below to a recipe from a few years ago. There is a recipe for Creme Anglaise. A sauce that tastes like melted ice cream. You’re welcome.
