Raspberry Bread Pudding has been a staple at Kneaders for over two decades and it has the sweetest origin story. Our founder, Colleen, was sick, so her neighbor baked homemade bread pudding to lift her spirits. It worked!

Watch Colleen make this bread pudding recipe here, then make it at home. Share it with your loved ones or take it to a neighbor to carry on the tradition. For perfect results, pick up two loaves of our scratch-made Country White Bread. We also recommend serving the bread pudding hot topped with lots of cold Vanilla Sauce.
