What an incredibly tasty and elegant bread pudding! We all loved it! I had a little trouble with the bread reducing to wet mush when I added the orange juice, so I put in approximately 1 more cup of bread cubes. And since I've had trouble with bread pudding puffing up and bubbling over as it bakes, I used a 10-inch pie plate. I think that was a mistake, as the base was a bit thin. (No one complained though!) I used Grand Marnier in place of the Cointreau liqueur. We liked the dish served with both whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. Thank you so much for posting this excellent recipe!
