How to Make Pumpkin Bread Pudding With Praline Pecan Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cubed bread, pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well to ensure bread is evenly moistened.
  3. Pour bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
  4. While the bread pudding soaks, prepare the praline pecan sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the pecans are toasted and coated, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour the praline pecan sauce evenly over the bread pudding.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden brown. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  7. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
