Follow The Directions

01

Step

Allow bread cubes to become stale: Place bread cubes in a large bowl, cover loosely, and let stand at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. (8+ hours)

02

Step

Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare pumpkin custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Combine bread and custard: Add the stale bread cubes to the pumpkin mixture, a few handfuls at a time, gently folding until the bread is evenly moistened but not completely saturated. You want the mixture to be damp, not soupy. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour into baking dish: Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Make crumb topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, room temperature butter, and cinnamon. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped walnuts. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Sprinkle and Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the bread pudding in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set and the crumb topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)

08

Step

Cool and Serve: Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For best results, use slightly stale bread. This allows it to absorb the custard without becoming mushy.
Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts in the crumb topping.
If you prefer a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of milk.
The bread pudding can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out mostly clean.
