Amazing! This recipe turned out better than I imagined. Yes, I did prepare the night before, refrigerate and bake the next day. Mmmm... delicious! Excellent way to easily feed a large number of people. I got rave reviews. Following the suggestion to divide multiple batches into separate casserole dishes results in a crispy crust with a moist center. Definitely try this one!

I like the ease of the lazy-struedel. My bread had originally been Italian so I probably could have omitted the salt from the recipe. I think I'd enjoy it more if some of the cinnamon had been combined with the liquids. I think this would turn out very nicely with some minced apples in addition to the raisins; even a cran-apple variation would likely be tasty, maybe add a touch of orange peel to that one. Boxed coconut milk rather than cow-milk worked fine and has me contemplating attempting bread pudding with coconut milk... #dairyfreeliving

I must apologize for only posting the "before" pic of this dish...my Christmas Eve breakfast guests devoured it before I could get a pic of it when it came out of the oven! I used raisins on half and left the other plain. This definately has a "bread pudding" taste to it. I was generous with the brown sugar (I don't like syrup). I used 1/2% milk and next time I will use something thicker like cream or whole milk. Very yummy & quick to throw together. thanks!
