Submitted by WyomingMoonDust

"While growing up all over the world, the one thing I missed about Germany was a breadlike pudding that my neighbor Babel would make for us kids while we waited for our parents to come home from work. Finally after all these years.. I located the orginal recipe and here it is.. This beats bread pudding. And I LOVE BREAD PUDDING."

This German Roll was easy to prepare. I made it for my Grandma's 88th Birthday, as she loves bread pudding and I thought she would like this too... and she did. I didn't use 6 T of nutmeg. I thought it sounded like alot. I used 4 t nutmeg and 3 t cinnamon. Other than that, I didn't make any other changes. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC - Spring 2008
