Made this recipe as written & then cut it into 12 squares & served it with a generous scoop of frozen yogurt ~ Even had a mild vanilla sauce left over from another recipe I'd made & topped it all with that! VERY, VERY TASTY! Over the past 6 months or so I've been making a bread pudding at least once a month, & this recipe will be a nice addition to my bread pudding file! Many thanks for sharing it!
