How to make strawberry bread pudding
Get the oven nice and warm at 300°F (150°C). Cut the bread into big chunks and put them on a baking sheet. Let the bread toast in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Chop the fresh strawberries into smaller pieces. Spread some butter in a baking dish that holds about 2 quarts (2 liters).
Put a layer of the bread chunks in the dish. Add about half of the strawberries on top. Then, put the rest of the bread on top of that.
In a big bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, a little salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Slowly pour in the milk and cream while you keep mixing.
Now, pour this milky mixture over the bread in the dish. Push down a bit with a spatula so the bread soaks up the milk.
Put the rest of the strawberries on the bread and let everything sit for 10-15 minutes.
While you wait, heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Put the strawberry bread pudding in the oven and let it bake for around 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks golden and puffy.
Give it a breather for 10 minutes before you dig in. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a sweet touch.
