- Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the dish. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325F.

Notes
Pumpkin bread or pumpkin spice bread are best for this recipe, but any type of bread will work. A 9.5 inch loaf was the perfect amount to get 8 cups.
You can let the bread soak in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours if needed.
You can use 2.5 teaspoons of any pumpkin spice blend instead of the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Learn how to make pumpkin spice here!
