How to Bake Sweet Potato Chai Bread Pudding

Earlier this week, I made my “Superb Sweet Potato Bread for the Bread Machine” recipe and had about 1/2 loaf left since we had New Year’s and we’ve had a lot of food…this got looked over…

To me, the best way to use bread that needs to be eaten or if you have a bunch of leftover bread, is to make bread pudding!

I chose my favorite tea flavoring, chai, as the theme behind it all as it often goes well with pumpkin and sweet potato is the closest flavor to that!

It was sinfully delicious and you have to try it…You’ll be so glad you did!
