Oh my oh my, this is just stellar! I love a good bread and butter pudding and this one seriously is great! YUMMO! <br/>I made this using freshly baked banana bread and freeze dried red berries, which worked out very well.<br/>I was out of butter, but since my banana bread was moist, I winged it using just the milk (soy milk) and it was perfect! I will surely make this often again!<br/>My only issue was that my berries at the top burnt after 30 min or so, but I covered the pudding after that and the crust then stayed crunchy and nicely brown and not burnt.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, Elmotoo!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #56 March 2013.

Very easy pudding to make and uses everyday ingredients. I used dried currants as the fruit as I had them left-over from Christmas cooking. Also just buttered one side of the bread. Cooked up nicely and the top browned beautifully. I think the pudding needed an egg or two added to the milk as the bread underneath stayed soggy , whereas most bread 'n'butter puds will form a baked custard. Photos to be posted

This pudding went together in no time at all for me! I'm sure I changed the intended taste/texture of this pudding since I used a heavy & nutty whole wheat bread as well as quartered dried apricots, which all made for A VERY TASTY BREAD PUDDING!

Mmmmmmm.....I love this pudding. I only used the fruit on half of it since I have a couple kids who don't like them on bread pudding, but we loved it. I served it with recipe #111062 on the top.....delicious. I'm so glad you chose me as you camera-less chef which in turn led me to this easy delicious bread pudding. Definately a keeper. Thanks.....Stephanie Made for Camera-less chef game 2008 as a Thank You.
