There’s something magical about warm, homemade bread pudding. It takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen, where the scent of cinnamon and vanilla filled the air. She always said the best recipes aren’t just about ingredients—they’re about love and tradition. This classic bread pudding is rich, buttery, and soaked in a deliciously spiced custard. Perfect for dessert, breakfast, or a cozy brunch! Give it a try and bring a little warmth to your home. ❤️
