This is one of best bread pudding I have ever tasted. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks Miss Annie!

Too add a twist to list toast 1 cup chopped pecans or nut of your choice and 1 cup of coconut mix this in before baking the coconut seems to help lessen the moisture in the middle so the cooking time comes out better I sometimes add 1 small can of crushed pineapple to the mixture to make it a tropical bread.

I'm not going to rate this. This is the first time I made (and ate) bread pudding, and I really didn't like it. My friend Millie, on the other hand, damn near ate the whole thing and I got to make it for her on a regular basis. So, Millie rates it 5 stars!

This is delicious and smells great. My first bread pudding and I will stick with the recipe. It's rare I don't change something but I like it. Thank you.

I must admit that I am somewhat of a bread pudding connoisseur seeing it has to be my alltime favourite dessert. Last night I made this bread pudding - only half a batch seeing I had a mere two bananas and a couple of stale wheat rolls to use up. As a previous poster said, this recipe is definately a keeper! I'm going to experiment with turning it into a 'self saucing' recipe so that it's swimming in a yummy caramel sauce as it cooks. Thank you so kindly for sharing. And I shall now go and devour the left overs :)
