Portuguese Bread Pudding (Pudim de Pão)
I don’t know about you, but I just so happen to have lots of left over bread! So, I’ll be making some Portuguese bread pudding using papo secos – very easy and yummy too! You can absolutely adjust the ingredients depending on how much bread you have to use, or what bread you have leftover in your home.

Ingredients
2 1/4 cups of whole milk
1 cup of granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
4 Portuguese bread rolls aka Papo Secos at least 2 days old
2 tablespoons of sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven at 350 F
Grease an oven proof baking dish (I used a 9×7 Pyrex dish)
1. Cut the bread into large pieces and fill the baking dish to the very top. Then, leave aside.
2. In a medium bowl beat together the milk, sugar, vanilla, and eggs until creamy.
3. Pour the creamy mixture slowly over the bread, making sure to stop in-between pours to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Use your fingers or a spatula to press down on the bread in ares where it looks a little dry so that the creamy mixture can be absorbed.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top of the bread and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
