My son said, "Mom, this is the BEST dessert you've ever made! I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing the recipe! I made it as the recipe states (but with Hawaiian bread), and mine puffed up like a souffle also. Refreshing and delicious with fresh peaches. :)

I love this simple bread pudding. Mine puffed up like a gorgeous souffle. Custardy texture with the peachy almond flavor is addictive. No sauce needed on this one. I did lighten mine up a little and used 1 C half & half and 1 C whole milk in lieu of the heavy cream. Highly recommended-Will use this often. Wendy A

I used almost 3/4 of a loaf (about 3/4 lb) of whole grain bread for this pudding, but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe! And it added greatly to the outcome, I'm sure, that I was able to find some wonderfully fresh, full-of-flavor ripe peaches! Thoroughly enjoyed this bread pudding & will be keeping the recipe on hand for future enjoyment, too! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
