How To Make Fresh Rhubarb Bread Pudding
- Preheat your oven to 175°C. Prepare an 8-in baking dish by greasing it and spread the bread.
- Add milk in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. When bubbles begin to form on the sides, remove the pan from heat and stir in butter until it melts.
- Pour the milk butter over bread and stir. Allow all bread pieces to combine well with the milk. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
- Add the rhubarb, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and salt into a bowl and stir well. Pour over the bread mixture while stirring continuously.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes until they turn golden.
You can serve the pudding with some rhubarb dessert sauce for enhanced flavors. The pudding also tastes great with fresh strawberry sauce.
