This is one of my favorite things to make. Unlike your standard recipe bread pudding, the addition of caramel, orange and pistachios make this truly unique. Typically Bread Pudding is made using day old or older bread as a great way to make a simple dessert. The original recipes are simple and considered a cheap and cheerful way to make a dessert. Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
