An excellent bread pudding!If making for company or a crowd I add a can of sliced peaches and before placing in the oven I pour on a can of sweetened condensed milk.I have also sprinkled over the milk some chopped pecans or walnuts.All of this makes it a little fancier.But,for just us I make it as you have written it and it is truly good!Thank you for posting rowen!

This was my first time making bread pudding. I made several modifications based upon what I have heard others say they used. Modifications I made: decreased butter by 1 TB; decreased milk by 1/2 c; added 1/4 cup applesauce; added a handful of walnuts finely chopped with the food processor; added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; added some nutmeg and extra cinnamon; used brown sugar, jumbo red raisins, and double fiber bread. It was yummy.

This was wonderful the way it was, but may try a vanilla sauce over it next time as this is one I will be making again! Thanks for posting!

This recipe is really easy and the pudding came out delicious and reminded me of my mother's (RIP) bread pudding. This recipe definitely deserves 5 stars

Oh my goodness is this good...there is no way this is going to serve 8-12 people...I'd be surprised if it serves 4...and that 4 would be the hubby and I twice...mine took longer to cook due to baking it in a loaf pan...my normal size bowl was in the dishwasher being cleaned...but the knife test works perfectly...this will be made again and it's going on my best of 2022 list...thanks for sharing your recipe...
