Caramel Sauce- Bread pudding and caramel sauce go together like peanut butter and jelly. Yes, bread pudding is already delicious, but it's a hundred times better drenched in caramel sauce.
Bourbon Sauce-Not a fan of caramel sauce? I find that hard to wrap my mind around. However, if this is you, try this Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce instead.
Ice Cream-Another great topping option is ice cream. French Vanilla ice cream is my family's favorite. Adding a scoop or two to the warm bread pudding results in a creamy, gooey sauce that's irresistible.
