It is pretty subjective to call a recipe "the best," but hear me out.This bread pudding recipe features:*warmly spiced custard*cinnamon swirl bread*a sticky topping of brown sugar and pecans.
Let the custard soak into the bread overnight, and then bake it low and slow until it's done. Broil for a moment to add some texture and flavor to what will be the bottom of the pudding.
Once out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and then turn it out onto a serving platter. You end up with this lovely design and brown sugar goodness on top.
