Bread pudding is a better way to use up old bread or leftover bagels or breads. You can use any type of leftover yeast bread for bread pudding, from bagels to doughnuts to sliced white bread, or any combination that sounds good to you. This recipe always comes out deliciously sweet.

If you want, you can shape the pudding with a cookie cutter or even with a glass. I shaped these bagel pudding with an oval shaped cookie cutter.
If you don’t like dried fruits, you can omit Sultanas, Currants and Raisins.
