How to make Light Bread Pudding

  1. Step 1

    Grease a tube pan (like a savarin mold) lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, place the bread cut into slices with the crust removed. Add the milk, sweetener, cinnamon, margarine (cut into pieces), and vanilla extract.

  3. Step 3

    Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Then, using a mixer on low speed, beat all the ingredients together.

  4. Step 4

    Gently fold in the egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks, and the raisins.

  5. Step 5

    Finally, add the baking powder, incorporating it with gentle folding motions.

  6. Step 6

    Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and bake in a water bath in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unmolding the pudding.

FAQS

  1. Can I use regular bread instead of whole wheat bread?

    Yes, you can use regular bread, but whole wheat bread is recommended for a healthier and more fiber-rich option.

  2. Can I replace the granulated sweetener with sugar?

    Yes, you can use sugar, but it will increase the calorie content of the pudding.

  3. What can I use instead of low-calorie margarine?

    You can substitute low-calorie margarine with unsalted butter or coconut oil, but it may slightly alter the calorie count.

  4. Can I skip the raisins?

    Yes, raisins are optional and can be omitted if you prefer a plain pudding.

  5. How do I know when the pudding is done baking?

    The pudding is done when it is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
