Very good bread pudding and couldnt be easier to make. We did use the french bread but Cranraisins since I had them on hand. Let it rest for 30 minutes before putting it in the oven and again after taking the pudding out of the oven so the center could set. Mixed dried fruit or dried cherries would also be delicious.
