Irish Soda Bread Pudding...

I wasn't sure if the title of this post should have been "Irish soda bread bread pudding" because that's exactly what it is, but who cares you just have to make it! Ideally I would liked to have posted this recipe before St Patrick's day, that way you could have bought or made extra. We all know the shelf life of soda bread starts ticking as soon as it comes out of the oven and as I looked at mine today I knew I'd never finish it before the dryness set in.



I decided to bite the bullet and turn it into bread pudding. All I can say is, it was pretty damn tasty. So good in fact I'd go ahead and make another soda bread just for bread pudding in the future.






Creamy and sweet, it ends up sitting in it's own custard bath just goading me to eat it....all, but that's where families come in handy. Sharing is caring as I was told at dinner...

I used this recipe for the liquid part of the pudding but halved it, which was enough to happily fill an 11x7 baking dish. Just switch the breads and use your rapidly declining soda bread.

    What an excellent idea, Gerry! I adore bread pudding...and I had that extra soda bread than was a bit too stale to eat. Now I'm regretting throwing it in the trash :/

    Wow - I just don't know if Irish Soda Bread would sit around long enough at my house to be able to make this :( Sounds fantastic!

    That's a very creative way to use up leftover soda bread - and you're so right about the short life of the bread. I made the mistake (some time ago) of making a batch for just myself and the bf and we got about 1/3 of the way thru before it was was pretty inedible ;)
