Ingredients
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp baking spray or butter for greasing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with baking spray or butter and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, granulated sugar, butter, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir everything together over medium heat until the butter melts, and the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stir in the water to loosen the mixture slightly.
Step 4
Place the cubed bread into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 5
Pour the tomato mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is covered. Gently press down with a spatula to help the bread soak up the liquid.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the pudding is golden and bubbly on top.
Step 8
Allow the tomato pudding to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish to roasted meats or vegetables.
