How to make Chocolate-Cinnamon Bread Pudding
I am a bread lover! My grandfather owned a bakery, my mother is a ‘breadie’ and there’s no brainer I got it from her. I thought to establish that fact before going further. I know how unhealthy bread can be and the healthy ones don’t seem to go down well my throat, so it’s something I have come to accept and live with (but I can be determine and decide to stay a whole TWO weeks without bread if I am motivated). And I love chocolates! Therefore when I came across a bread pudding recipe with chocolate in it, I thought to play around with it. The first time, I didn’t quite like the outcome but I figured out how to make it to my taste and I have not stopped since then.
