I know that Gordon Ramsay Bread Butter Pudding sounds very simple. But in actuality, it is an amazing recipe. I had the same prejudice when I heard the recipe’s name. I was shocked that the recipe and the end product were anything but boring.
I mean, the bread isn’t your regular bread, but pain au chocolat. Having said that, the bread is soaked in the custard mix, which gives super-soft bites, letting you enjoy the creamy notes. Trust me, each bite of this pudding will swiftly melt in your mouth, which will be quite satisfying to the core of your soul.
The first time I made this, I instantly fell in love with the sweet notes. Moreover, the pudding looked damn appetizing too. Well, to be very honest, I also tried making it for a small gathering, and they were so happy to enjoy it and could not believe that it was made at home.
Try the recipe, and you will fall in love, too. I definitely and strongly endorse this recipe (this is an unpaid promotion!). Scroll down to find out all about Gordon Ramsay Bread and Butter Pudding.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Slightly stale pastries absorb the custard better without becoming overly soggy, giving the pudding a perfect texture.
- Let the bread sit in the custard for at least 15–20 minutes so every piece absorbs the rich mixture evenly.
- I would also suggest buttering the baking dish, as this prevents sticking and helps create delicious caramelized edges as the pudding bakes.
- Cover the dish with foil for the first part of baking to keep the custard moist, then remove the foil near the end to achieve a crisp, golden top.
