RECIPE DIFFICULTY-EASY

Ingredients for Pineapple bread pudding.

The ingredients mentioned below use standard measuring cups and spoons.

3 eggs beaten
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of chopped fresh pineapple cubes(this is roughly 5-6 slices of fresh pineapple, substitute with a can of pineapple juice drained)
1/2 cup of butter at room temperature
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
10 slices of white bread cut into cubes
2-3 tablespoons of fresh milk or juice from the canned pineapple(optional to be used if you want a moist pudding)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

How to make the pineapple bread pudding.

Please make sure to read the recipe instructions carefully to avoid mistakes.

If using a baking dish, cover with foil and lightly butter the bottom of the foil. refer to utensils and appliances for the recommended size.

Break the eggs(3 large eggs)into a large bowl, and add sugar(1 cup).

Whisk until sugar dissolves.

Add Pineapple to the mixture(1 cup of chopped fresh pineapple cubes, this is roughly 5-6 slices of fresh pineapple, substitute with a can of pineapple).

Add butter(1/2 a cup), and combine for a few seconds. add vanilla(1 tsp).

Tear or cut the bread(10 slices)into smaller cubes and add it to the bowl.

Combine and break down the bread completely.

Once you have a pulp-like mixture to the bread and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Check the mixture if you find it dry add fresh milk(2-3 tbsp)or canned Pineapple juice(2-3 tbsp).

Transfer the Pineapple and bread mixture to the baking pan.

Smooth the mixture, shape, and press down, sprinkle brown sugar(2 tbsp)over the pineapple pudding.

Preheat the oven to 325F or 170C and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown(depending on altitude your baking time might take 60 minutes).
I like to rest the pudding for 10-15 minutes before serving or let it cool then chill and serve.
Try the pineapple bread pudding with some caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream.
