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.

How do you get the results of the strawberry topping to keep it delicious?
just bake it.. and the results are awesome 🙂
Can you use all types of bread?
yes.. you can use all types of bread.. though.. the brioche kind of bread.. like challah would be the best options.
Mine didn’t puff 🙁 all steps followed and re-checked.
It will puff slightly while baking but then it will deflate. It is not a souffle, it is not supposed to stay puffed after baking.
It was good definitely needed a little bit more sugar than just half a cup but if you add a sauce or some ice cream to it it puts it at the perfect sweetness. and it took longer for it to cook than 40 minutes.
