nice and easy bread pudding recipes with dried cranberry..

I made a double batch of this to use up extra milk and a mix of different rolls I had hanging around. It turned out excellent!! Added extra dried cranberries like the other reviewer did, which really was fantastic. And I cut back on the sugar a little bit and it was still plenty sweet. Instead of the pudding (had none on hand) we topped it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which worked perfectly. This recipe was easy, very tasty and definitely a keeper!!

I used a hearty & heavy whole wheat bread (crust & all) for this recipe & also increased the amount of dried cranberries to 3/4 cup (love those buggers!) ~ GREAT TASTING BREAD PUDDING! The pudding topping was a nice twist to this keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my You Call It Pudding, I Call It Delicious! theme in the current My 3 Chefs event]
