Homemade bread pudding with bourbon sauce is a rich dessert popular around the holidays. This recipe uses stale bread, milk, eggs and bourbon. Bread pudding is a dessert worth trying this holiday season. It is a great use of day-old bread and it’s made with simple ingredients found in your pantry. The best thing about this bread pudding though is the bourbon sauce. It takes this dessert to the next level! Bread pudding is my new favorite Christmas dessert for entertaining guests.
