A challah loaf, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/homemade-french-bread\/\">French bread<\/a>, soft brioche bread, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/moms-famous-homemade-bread\/\">homemade loaf<\/a> are all great options. Sourdough bread also adds a slightly tangy, strong flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet pecan pie filling \u2014 so fun to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u270e At the end of the video, you&#8217;ll see me pour some maple butter cream syrup over the bread pudding. <strong>I&#8217;m not including the recipe<\/strong> for that, because I wasn&#8217;t overly impressed with it. What I DO love is finishing this off with a drizzle of bourbon maple syrup \u2014 that boozy-sweet sauce is chef&#8217;s kiss and makes the whole thing feel extra special. Or skip the sauce entirely and just pile on a scoop of vanilla ice cream. No judgment here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally I had thought to make&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/maple-blondie-maple-butter-cream-sauce-applebees-copycat\/\"><em>this<\/em><\/a> Maple Butter Cream Sauce<\/strong>, and I think it would have been the better choice. So if you&#8217;re up for it, give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/maple-blondie-maple-butter-cream-sauce-applebees-copycat\/\">that recipe<\/a> a try! Or serve the bread pudding fresh and warm with some <strong>homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/homemade-cool-whip\/\">whipped cream<\/a><\/strong> or a generous scoop of ice cream. A rich caramel sauce drizzled over the top of the bread pudding is also absolutely dreamy \u2014 try my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/caramel-buttermilk-syrup\/\">Caramel Buttermilk Syrup<\/a> for a caramel drizzle that will knock your socks off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u270e Some of you have been making this recipe for years and may notice a small change \u2014 I now recommend you <strong>drizzle a little milk<\/strong> over the bread before doing anything else. I liked the moisture it added. But if you&#8217;ve been happy with how the bread pudding has turned out without it, feel free to continue the old way!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/pecan-pie-bread-pudding\/?tp_image_id=18407\" data-pin-title=\"Pecan Pie Bread Pudding Recipe\" data-pin-description=\"Pecan pie bread pudding is a delicious way to take your favorite desserts and turn them into an easy meal.

Spray your prepared baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, then fill it with cubed bread \u2014 thick bread cubes are the best way to get that perfect tender crumb inside with a slightly golden brown, almost crackly top. Drizzle a little milk over the bread cubes and let them soak while you prep the custard mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a large bowl (or large mixing bowl, whatever you&#8217;ve got!), whisk together eggs, dark corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a hit of cinnamon. This is basically your pecan pie filling right there, you guys. Pour that custard mixture over your soaked bread cubes, then fold in the crunchy pecans to make your cinnamon pecan mixture. Give it a gentle toss so every single bread cube is coated in that gooey, dreamy custard. Pour the whole bread pudding mixture into your prepared baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bake at 375\u00ba for about 40\u201345 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is just set. If you are using a convection oven, start checking around 35 minutes \u2014 it moves fast! The smell that fills your kitchen is absolutely irresistible. Trust me on that one. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so every bite feels like the right amount of everything \u2014 warm, gooey, and perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-this-is-the-best-pecan-pie-bread-pudding-recipe\"><span style=\"color: #f03a70;\">Why This Is One of the Best Bread Puddings Ever<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay so I&#8217;ve made a lot of classic desserts in my day. A LOT. And this pecan pie bread pudding recipe honestly ranks right up there with the best parts of fall baking season.

That southern flavor is just *chef&#8217;s kiss.* It&#8217;s one of the first desserts I reach for every fall, and it&#8217;s 100% one of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/fall-desserts-and-snacks\/\">absolute favorite fall desserts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love this kind of dessert, you are also going to need my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/butterscotch-bread-pudding\/\">Butterscotch Bread Pudding<\/a> and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/easy-vanilla-bread-pudding-recipe\/\">Easy Vanilla Bread Pudding<\/a> in your life immediately.

With its humble origins rooted in the thrifty repurposing of stale bread, this timeless dessert has evolved into a beloved culinary classic. It was one of the first desserts home cooks turned to when they needed to stretch ingredients \u2014 and honestly, those thrifty home cooks were onto something genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bread pudding is a simple concoction of bread, milk, eggs, sugar, and spices. But within that basic framework lies a world of creative possibility! Fresh bread can absolutely be used, but stale bread is preferred for its ability to soak up the custard mixture without becoming overly soggy. Sourdough bread brings a slightly tangy, strong flavor. A challah loaf or soft brioche bread gives you an ultra-rich, pillowy result. French bread lands somewhere perfectly in the middle. All great options, you guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The custard base \u2014 heavy cream or milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract \u2014 serves as the backbone, providing richness and depth. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth, while chocolate chips, raisins, or crunchy pecans add texture and sweetness. For a fun variation, think sweet potato custard mix stirred right in for a sweet potato pecan pie bread pudding that is a perfect fall dessert. Or go full dessert-mashup mode with chocolate chip bread pudding \u2014 oh my goodness, yes please.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"896\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/pecan-pie-bread-pudding\/?tp_image_id=11466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC_2708-edited-watermarked.png\" alt=\"Pecan Pie Bread Pudding\" class=\"wp-image-11466\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bread-pudding-versatility\">Bread Pudding Versatility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most appealing aspects of bread pudding is its wild versatility. While traditional recipes often call for simple additions like raisins or nuts, the flavor combinations are truly endless. From seasonal fruits like apples and pears to decadent add-ins like caramel or chocolate, there is no limit to what you can do. And let&#8217;s be real \u2014 this pecan pie bread pudding recipe proves that when you start with a great base, the sky&#8217;s the limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chefs and home bakers alike experiment with premium breads like brioche or challah bread, infusing their creations with luxurious flavors. A drizzle of bourbon maple syrup, a boozy-sweet sauce, or a rich caramel sauce over the top of the bread pudding makes any individual portion feel extra special \u2014 like something you&#8217;d order at a new BBQ place or a cozy Southern bistro. This is absolutely the kind of dessert that impresses without stressing you out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bread pudding also reheats beautifully \u2014 pop a slice in the microwave the next day and serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Oh, and this freezes really well too, so go ahead and tuck portions away for a couple of months. When you melt butter in a small saucepan, warm up that caramel sauce, and serve this on a slow weekend night with the family gathered around \u2014 that, my friends, is what we live for. Now go get the full recipe below and make this dreamy, delicious dessert happen! \ud83c\udf6e\ud83e\udd67<\/p>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Pecan Pie Bread Pudding\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ashton\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-17\",\"recipeYield\":8,\"description\":\"This Pecan Pie Bread Pudding has been one of the most popular recipes on Something Swanky since it was published in 2012.
