|
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
|
|
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
|
|
For the Bread and Filling:
|
|
4 cups whole-grain bread, crusts removed if desired, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1/2 pound, 4-6 slices)
|
|
2 cups roughly broken gingersnaps
|
|
2 cups quartered strawberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
|
|
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted (see Tip)
|
|
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted, or Streusel Topping (see Tip)
|
Tip: Spread walnuts on a baking sheet, place in a preheated 350 degree F oven and toast, stirring once, until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
To make streusel topping: Combine 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup oats (preferably old-fashioned), 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 tablespoons canola oil in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on top of the pudding after the initial 40 to 45 minutes of baking.
