Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, gently pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juice. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Scatter the torn bread pieces evenly over the tomatoes, creating a rustic, slightly overlapping layer. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Dot the surface generously with the pats of butter, ensuring they are distributed across the bread. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to your personal taste. (1 minute)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding is bubbling, the bread is golden brown, and the edges are slightly caramelized. (40 minutes)

07

Step

Let the pudding rest for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the tomato mixture.
Using day-old bread will help it absorb the tomato juices more effectively, resulting in a better texture.
If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can briefly pulse the canned tomatoes in a food processor before adding them to the baking dish.
Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or Italian bread, to vary the flavor profile.

    I increased the butter to 3 tablespoons. It made the bread even more delicious!

    This was surprisingly delicious! I used sourdough bread and it was fantastic.

    I found that 35 minutes was perfect for my oven. Keep an eye on it!

  • Gordon Herzog

    I didn't have white bread, so I used whole wheat. It was still really good, just a bit denser.

  • Emma Durgan

    This is a great way to use up stale bread. I'll definitely be making this again.

  • Erick Crona

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some chopped onions and bell peppers to the tomato mixture.
