We loved this recipe. I halved the ingredients (except the vanilla) and added a mix of 1 TBS. sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon to the top before baking. Served warm with vanilla ice cream, this is pure old-fashioned, nurturing soul food. I'll make it often. Thanks!

I loved it!! Was very quick and easy to make. I left mine in the fridge two hours and turned out perfect!!!! I preffered to eat it cold rather than warm.

This was pretty good. I did use fat free milk and omited the butter to make it even more healthy for my kids. Thanks.

SUPERB! This was totally awsome. Pretty guilt free and yummy. Made this for Super Bowl Sunday. Family was impressed and delighted! I had mixed feelings about this recipe because of so many reviews stating on how "mushy" it turned out. Mine came out perfecto! I used a multi-grain bread and followed the recipe perfectly. Was super easy too. The only reason I can think it came out too mushy is perhaps they did not use enough bread and or did not leave it in the fridge over night. I noticed that two hours in the fridge it still looked kind of "runny" so in fear of it being mushy I left it in over night. I would NOT change a thing!

I feel really horrible leaving such negative feedback on this, but this was a HUGE disappointment. I was really excited about this recipe, since I love pineapple and I love bread pudding. Also, I'm on a low-fat diet. I followed the recipe exactly, but ended up with a horrible, mushy mess. I tried baking it even longer in hopes of getting some of the liquid to firm up, but that didn't help either. No one in my family could even eat it; not even with the addition of whipped topping. We ended up throwing the entire thing out :-[ I *might* give this one another try, since everyone else's reviews were very good. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't the same. Sorry :-[
