I actually have been making this recipe for like 7 years now. I originally found it on another recipe site. Everyone I make it for loves it, and I get requests for it. I make mine vegan, though, w/ soy milk and soy butter.

Very good flavor. I used the Hawaiian sweet bread. I thought the dish was a little on the "soft" side -- and it could be a result of my choice of bread. I might try a coarser bread the next time. I shared it with our neighbors and they loved it. I also served it as a "side dish" for a ham casserole. the pineapple went very nice with it.

I love this recipe!! I substituted gluten free bagels for the Italian bread, and it turned out delicious!!
