[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

ERIN!!!!!!!!!! Missed you much!!!!!!! I see you’re coming back strong with chocolate 🍫 🤤.

[@ChevrePizza]

I'm inspired to make carrot cake bread pudding for Easter! Cream cheese layered between brioche, shredded carrot cooked in butter and spices, toasted pecans, rum soaked raisins, and a vanilla rum sauce to finish

[@jackfahey4610]

Wow. That sounds incredible

[@tggfriends92]

Missed the calming and joyful Erin!

[@miseentrope]

Chicken and waffle bread pudding? Dashes of hot sauce? Lamb and pita? With a herby green sauce? Erin is so inspiring 🥰

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

Oh, it is SUCH A RELIEF & PLEASURE to see you again, friend Erin!! No more daily sad faces wondering if you were ever coming back to us! Hope everything is okay. Keep up the great work...we 💛 ya, lady!!!!

[@loveurtruself]

dearest erin mcdowell you’re my literal favorite. thank you for dedicating your time to the beauty of baking. i love your sweet giggles and jokies they make the sweets…sweeter.

[@jerriwynn2754]

Erin!!!! So glad to see you!!!! Thank you for the bread pudding recipe!! Thank you for your brilliant mix of food science, food tools, common sense, experimenting, and perfectly describing words like ooey, and gooey!

[@SarahWelstead]

As a longtime bread pudding connoisseur, I have to admit that I personally LOVE a rubbery texture. Especially the next day when it's cold.

[@Mariarosey]

The bread pudding I still dream about was made at a bakery/cafe in St John's Newfoundland, from day-old chocolate croissants. Yummm. I am inspired.

[@davidb9547]

You knock it out of the park again. Here in Louisiana bread pudding is everything. You sure got me thinking.

[@Pastry626]

All the dishes she cooks are with such finesse and high quality

[@franciet99]

Are y’all stalking me??? After more than 20 years I made a bread pudding this last weekend. It was crazy delicious! I made it with croissants, pineapple rum, and fresh pineapple. I used good ole Justin Wilson’s recipe which is a classic. I won’t wait another 20 years to make it again. 🥰

[@sammyjo8109]

I make mine like he does except I soak my raisins in Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and no brandy ( most people do not like the taste of brandy) and I use heavy cream instead of milk, My grandma taught me 54 years ago to make it. We had to go to the milk house and skim off the cream LOL.

[@franciet99]

@@sammyjo8109 sounds yummy!

[@tammiemartinez6485]

​@@sammyjo8109What a great story. I would have loved skimming the cream...

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I see Erin... I click. Even when I don't like Bread Pudding.

[@christalastinger2345]

Happy to see you back. Awesome ideas, especially the blueberry waffle option.

[@KatherineCooper]

I’ve been so anxious to see more bake it up! ❤

[@mariahw3041]

More Erin please! 🤗🤗

[@arghanaskar158]

Missed you so much my baking godmotherrrr

[@whiterabit]

Welcome back. I missed you. ❤❤❤

Erin, we missed you ❤

[@dmuse869]

WE LOVE ERIN❤

[@aronc24]

It’s been so long! And this sounds 👌

[@heathergleiser]

This came at a perfect time! I had incredible cinnamon biscuit bread pudding at a restaurant a few weeks ago and wondered if it would be possible to recreate it at home since that restaurant is hours away. Thank you, Erin!

[@sfowler1017]

One of my favorite restaurants used to make a banana bread pudding, served on a puddle of pastry cream. 😍

[@reggie9334]

I love bread pudding. My mom made the best she would use stale Portuguese massa (sweet bread) with soaked white raisins in dark rum soo good with coffee. ❤️

[@carolegeddes998]

Erin! FANTASTIC! Thank you dear. Love and appreciate your incredibly delicious baking videos. You are an excellent teacher and a lovely woman.

[@kuzube9341]

I love you, Erin! You are a fantastic instructor. You make me feel that I can do anything in the kitchen, Thank you!

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

You're a genius! I've never been interested in bread pudding until now 😁 These all look delicious!! The riffs on the classic are so creative!

[@OG_HazelGrrl]

Everyone is so creative!

[@gailjordan9250]

A restaurant that no longer exists used to offer a white chocolate raspberry bread pudding with rum sauce. I'm going to give that a try.

[@pmuse8263]

Hie Erin and @food52 can u please do an episode on the perfect golden fluffy waffles. Would really appreciate that. PS: Thank you for the teachings so far.

[@whitedolphin915]

I'm a bread pudding addict! Any and all I really ❤. Those look so mouth-watering! Please do more.🎉

[@adedow1333]

Hi Erin! I've got some brioche burger buns that I was just thinking of turning into pudding and I thought of Nutella, but I didn't consider making the custard chocolate too! I only have 3, but that's just perfect (no leftovers!)

[@Debba521]

Erin has been absent a long time, so welcome back! Love bread pudding, but I've never made a savory one so appreciate the good ideas there. I do appreciate the beauty of Le Creuset, but I can't afford it, so I'll have to make do with my aluminum 13 x 9, I guess. Still wish I knew what the sickle shaped tat on Erin's right arm means...?

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

It's a vanilla bean :)

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I was hoping a special dish wasn't necessary for this recipe. Decided to read the comments before watching the video just in case. Now, on to the video... 😁

[@Debba521]

[@Missgardenista]

All looks delicious in definately making the savory one for be breakfast never know savory bread pudding was a thing but I wish you made the classic one with rum and raising

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

They look amazing! Thank you for the video!

[@gracestrand2240]

Have I told you lately how much I love you? ❤👏

[@angyeliz]

I love having some of the crunchy edges with a scoop of the gooey center lol

[@monami7092]

Love, love Bake it up a Notch ❤

[@brooksday8407]

Hi!! Loving this! Are all the bread pudding recipes you made available? Also do you ever wrap your lid in a tea towel so the condensation does drip or is that what you want to happen? Thanks Erin!!

[@lyricwilberg]

ERIN ERIN ERIN!!!!YAY!!!! ❤ Why is the camera moving so freaking much tho 😵‍💫

[@kathytowle2689]

I have added mashed banana and chocolate chips But using a chocolate custard is a great idea. I am also looking forward to trying the savory ones. For breakfast maybe lox bagel and cream cheese?

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

I’ve actually used leftover hot dog buns to make bread pudding. Kaiser rolls, too.

[@rattank1527]

Aww man wish I had this for St. Patty's- but my Bailey's flavored challah bread pudding turned out pretty good anyway.

[@mochita1961]

Amazing!!!

[@brat46]

Cinnamon and raisin bread for base. 2 ripe bananas puree into custard base. I let it soak overnight in a large bowl and then place it in the baking pan. Vanilla sauce when it comes out of the oven.

[@liliadeanda5859]

I think that the jggle in the bread pudding could be a little like what I would expect in pumpkin pie.

[@emilyrom420]

Is there a link to the recipe for the croissant, ham, and cheese bread pudding? Missed you Erin!!!

[@nancywilms6319]

👏👏👏👏

[@ShamailaShamaila-bz1qw]

Super..

[@marinaroco972]

Loopve iiiit!

[@bgott8567]

Hey what are those cookbooks on your counter?😊

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

Question: would you still add sugar to the custard if you're doing a *SAVORY* version of the bread pudding??

[@adedow1333]

Probably not, but I could see a tablespoon or 2 depending on the choices.

[@OSheaDean]

For me bread [& butter] pudding will always be to use up stale or leftover breads or pastries. All baked custards tho, 🤗🤗

[@juliabishop1408]

Is there a good way to reheat leftover bread pudding the next day?

[@crysteltheriault6606]

Airfryer !!

[@adamaenosh6728]

How does it happen when something is overbaked and underbaked at the same time?

[@jackfahey4610]

Love your channel but as a diabetic, I can’t cook most of what you make. Keep it up

[@juniorworld6142]

😀😀😀

[@Maiasatara]

I don’t need to be talked into Le Creuset; I need Le Creuset to be talked into selling at a reasonable price. I would have five or more in different sizes if that wouldn’t cost thousands of dollars. A Dutch oven shouldn’t be a bucket list item.

[@reginabillotti]

Le Creuset isn't the only brand out there. And you can look for secondhand items.

[@virginiaf.5764]

Why not use the lid that comes with it, instead of tin foil?

[@Julie-bq6iz]

She explained why in the video.

[@Debba521]

​@@Julie-bq6iz Really? Didn't quite get that. Lid should perform same function as foil, so...?

[@ellenlockhart4494]

Who placed Erin's books backwards on the counter? This has been distracting me throughout her delightful videos.

[@growinglongisland]

Hahaha I saw your comment and now I can’t stop staring at the books!

[@shadrackboakye3445]

Longest time

[@basiadugan3175]

If you don't talk to your ingredients, are you even baking?

[@jamessudek2125]

The outfit is ridiculous and if it isn't bread it isn't bread pudding. This is ludicrousness.

[@Hannahorse715]

You should be more concerned about your health and not about teaching people how to make desserts then eating them. You are diabetic and heart attack among other things material and you may be a nice person but we are looking out for you your fellow YT watchers. Please do us a favor and go on teaching healthy things until you get to a healthy look. We care about you😊❤

[@marylinkrohn9185]

For one's health, weight, and life no one should eat this! No nutrition😢

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

That’s not why I watch Erin’s channel. If I wanted that, I would watch a “healthy lifestyle” channel. I’m here for a good time, not for a long time.

[@mamalioness7741]

OH! Aren't eggs, milk and nuts nutritious? Hmm! .. And chocolate aids in releasing a pent up pituitary gland and a woman's hormones!.. so this recipe isn't that unhealthy! A rare treat IS a healthy thing for one's self respect and physical senses! For what it's worth, I'd add some fresh sliced strawberries and Coolwhip in top of the mound of pudding! That would add a tad of refreshing flavor and "health" to the dessert. (You could even add a tad of rum sauce over the pudding, as that would make it a luxurious dessert for company during the holidays!

[@cm9439]

She doesn't make nutritional dishes.

[@adedow1333]

And it reduces food waste by using leftover bread!

[@shellyrosenberg4820]

You must be a lot of fun at parties😂

[@lylablueabdul5503]

You need to stop eating all these damn sweets
