Notes

  1. You can use any kind of bread that you like as long as it as a thicker version.
  2. The sauce and bread pudding itself can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
  3. You can easily double this recipe to feed bigger crowds.
  4. If you want a thinner bread pudding just bake in a 9"x13" baking dish instead.
  5. We intentionally leave sugar out of the recipe as the ingredients in the pudding itself and the sauce makes it sweet enough or our tasting but you can add sugar if you would like.
