Bread pudding is best served warm, which is why this easy, quick, one serving microwave mug version is so great. No long prep time. No making custard on the stove. No waiting around for a full-sized bread pudding to bake.
2slicesof bread or King Hawaiian rolls, Brioche is best. Sweet Hawaiian rolls also work. Regular soft bread works, but not as well. The bread slice should be about the size usually used for toast or about the size of one King Hawaiian roll, cut into small cubes about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch

Instructions
Lightly grease one microwave safe mug. Line mug with half of the bread cubes. Circle the inside of the cup with bread, then fill the middle. Continue to stack up until you run out, so that it forms a tower of bread inside the mug.
In a separate mug or small bowl, whisk egg, milk, cinnamon, pumpkin and sugar. Pour half of mixture onto bread tower, making sure custard mixture touches all bread pieces. Microwave for about 1 minute or until custard is fully cooked. Remove from mug and place onto a plate. Use mug again to make second bread pudding. Serve warm with ice cream and caramel sauce.
