Ingredients
Bread
- 2 King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, cubed
Mix-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet or preferred flavor)
Batter
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Other
- Butter, for buttering bread slices
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half and butter each side generously. Then cut each buttered half into 4 cubes to create bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble in ramekin: Place the buttered bread cubes and chocolate chips into a large microwavable ramekin. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
- Soak the bread: Use a fork or your fingers to press the bread cubes gently into the egg mixture, ensuring all pieces are fully soaked and coated.
- Microwave initially: Microwave the ramekin on high for 1 minute. Then check the center and edges to see if the egg mixture has started to set, using a fork to pull bread away from sides to check for any excess liquid.
- Continue microwaving: If the mixture is still liquidy, microwave for an additional 30 seconds and check again. Repeat additional 15-second intervals as needed until the bread pudding is fully set and cooked through.
Notes
- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips or your preferred flavor for variation.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
- Butter the bread well to add flavor and help create a moist pudding.
- Check frequently when microwaving to avoid overcooking or drying out the pudding.
- Use a microwave-safe ramekin or small dish for best results.
