III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Preparing the CBD-Infused Milk

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.
  2. If desired, add 1-2 drops of full spectrum CBD oil to the simmering milk. Stir well to incorporate the CBD oil into the milk. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.
  3. Remove the milk from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly while preparing the bread pudding mixture.

B. Preparing the Bread Pudding Mixture

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  3. Slowly pour the CBD-infused milk into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. Ensure that the mixture is thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
  4. Add the torn or cubed stale bread pieces to the mixture and gently fold them in until all the bread is coated. If desired, add raisins or dried cranberries for extra flavor and texture.

C. Assembling and Baking the Bread Pudding

  1. Transfer the bread pudding mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, creating a tent to allow for expansion during baking.
  3. Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan or baking sheet. Fill the larger pan with hot water, creating a water bath. The water should come up about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  4. Carefully place the water bath with the covered bread pudding into the preheated oven.
  5. Bake for approximately
  6. Once baked, carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and set it on a cooling rack. Remove the foil and let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before adding the CBD infusion.

D. Adding the CBD Infusion

  1. Determine the desired dosage of CBD oil based on the instructions provided with your CBD product and your personal preferences.
  2. Using a toothpick or the dropper provided with your CBD oil, carefully add the desired number of CBD oil drops to the top of the bread pudding. Aim to distribute the drops evenly across the surface.
  3. Gently press the CBD oil drops into the surface of the bread pudding using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, ensuring that they are evenly absorbed.
  4. Allow the CBD-infused bread pudding to rest for a few minutes to allow the CBD oil to blend with the pudding.

IV. Tips and Variations

Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and desired effects.

  • Flavor Enhancements: Feel free to add your own twists to the bread pudding recipe. You can incorporate ingredients such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a splash of rum or brandy for an extra flavor boost.
  • Serve with Sauce: Bread pudding is often served with a sauce for added richness. Consider pairing it with a warm caramel sauce, vanilla custard, or a scoop of ice cream.

V. Serving and Storage

  1. Serve the CBD-infused bread pudding warm as a comforting dessert. You can top it with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
