Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish.

  3. Stir in the stale bread cubes and let soak for 15 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Mix in vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

  6. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly.
