Use Up Your Gluten-Free Bread

There's no better way to use up your gluten-free bread than this Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. Make a small batch for yourself or one for the table. This recipe is super flexible! Simply lessen the measurements for less custard mixture. 

When gluten-free bread goes stale, it's even better when its soaked for a long time in a custard. Gluten-free bread is great at absorbing moisture. Make sure you chop it into thick chunks before letting it sit in the egg mixture. If you slice too thin, it is more likely to be fragile and fall apart.
