SUMMARY

The pumpkin bread pudding can be prepared the night before and reheated successfully, enhancing its flavor after refrigeration. It is essential to cover the pudding tightly with foil before refrigerating to maintain moisture. Reheat the dish in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes.

Hi all! I have a quick question about the pumpkin bread pudding recipe. Can it be made the night before and reheated or even just mixed up the night before and then baked the day of? I'll have 4 kids underfoot and would like to get as much done as possible on one day so I have less to worry about the day of the show.

Sandy,
I have made the pumpkin bread pudding for two different shows. At my shows I always prepare two recipes, but have the second almost completed. Both times I made the bread pudding ahead. I did put it in the refrigerator because of all the eggs. But remember to let it sit out for a little while so you want thermo-shock your stone :eek:
Both times it turned out wonderful and delicious - guests ate it all up!
 
Hi Sandy,Yes, you can definitely make the pumpkin bread pudding the night before and reheat it the day of. In fact, some people even say it tastes better after being refrigerated overnight. Just make sure to cover it tightly with foil before refrigerating and then reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. As for mixing it up the night before and baking it the day of, that should also work just fine. Just make sure to cover it and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake it. Good luck with your show and I hope the pumpkin bread pudding turns out delicious!
