Notes
Nutrition info is approximate
Using different brand of ingredients than those listed above can result in altered taste and nutrition information
If your bread is fresh, keep the bread outside for a couple hours to make it a little “stale”.
Use a smaller baking dish. I used an 8in in length 5.75in size tray.
Toast the bread after you fill it up in the baking dish. This way, the bread pudding will not be a soggy mess.
I used Arnold Organics Sprouted Wheat Bread for this recipe. It’s denser, plant-based and non-GMO bread. Choose a sprouted bread, if possible.
Chia seeds should be soaked in the water for at least 10 minutes before adding to the milk mixture. The chia seeds will become “gloopy”, which is similar to egg texture.
