Beautiful Bread Pudding

"Beautiful bread pudding I had the need to be a kitchen chemist today. And, I soon decided to treat my new roommates to some of my baking and see what would work in the way of delicate and mild comfort food. Since I have a broken leg, I needed the recipe to be easy. The balanced flavor of the wheat bread blended with the dash of pepper in the wet mixture is richly augmented with the melted butter without being overpowered by it. Very subtle but noticeable taste of the sliced apple topping with cinnamon is sooo much better than standard raisin. I dried the bread slices out in a slooow oven in the morning, and put the eggs out to get to room temp. some notes: definitely get your eggs to room temperature. Pre heat your oven, and butter your baking dish before you start because mixing it up goes pretty quickly. The glass baking dish I used is a beautiful 8" round and a solid 3” deep. I bake in glass when possible. more notes: do not bake anything topped with cinnamon hotter than 350 degrees as cinnamon will scorch and taste bad. So check your oven temperature with a thermometer.... and as usual go wash your hands! ;o)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Mission statement: Please leave a creative message at the beep... and try some of my recipes. Well, at least read the titles and intros for a few giggles ;o] Chosen profession: Domestic Engineer Current employment: standing on corner holding sign "will food for work" Volunteer: Sunday school (ECF) teacher - 7th grade. Family, church & friend oriented. Music: too much to list... just know that I loathe gangsta, Yoko-Ono's stylings and what is up with fusion - I don't get it. Sports: take me to a baseball or hockey game and I'm a happy camper. ... and hobbies: too many to list. For fun: really really really no... really bad puns - seriously, I'm just a goof-ball. Books: Fanny Farmer cook book is cute light reading for any good domestic engineer. I love my Nourishing Traditions cookbook. I have done a complete 180 on milk. I now LOVE LOVE LOVE Ice cold raw whole milk, and renounce soy milk completely, though I will still joyfully eat tofu - overlooking the health detriment that it imposes. Pet peeve: When people say 'these ones' or 'those ones', instead of saying 'these' etc... "Ones" is expressed and is not necessary. The word 'utilize' is over used and over-rated. The slang word "UM".
