Hola Familia! It has been a minute since I posted a recipe, and to be honest, I thought about stopping sharing my recipes altogether. Still, the reality is that I love sharing my passion and appreciation for food with those who follow me, and most of all, I love cooking. In fact, I was not going to share this recipe at all, but I posted a teaser picture on Instagram a few weeks ago, and the positive feedback I received made me change my mind. 😊
But why stopping now?
Well, I started a new business! https://abasketofjo.com, and that takes a lot of work. Fortunately, I have a great family, and they’ll be helping as the business take off, which means I will be able to continue doing what I love–cooking!
On that note, let’s get to the basics: What is bread pudding?
Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert made with stale bread, milk or cream, eggs, spices, and butter. It is popular in many countries, and recipes may vary. In the Dominican Republic, we make a simple pudding with stale bread, eggs, milk, raisins, and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
For this recipe, I added cardamon which is not very common in Dominican cuisine. Cardamom is a spice widely used in Indian cooking; it has a strong but sweet aroma, and it goes well with our bread pudding recipe.
Now let’s get to cooking!
Here is the recipe:
