Reviews
I’ve been making bread pudding for years. This is the best yet . I leave out the nuts, they do nothing for it . I cube my bread the day before and leave it in a shallow pan to dry out a little . You can also place the pan of bread in a 300 degree oven jut before mixing it .
Delicious! The sauce part makes a bit too much, so I cut that down a bit for next time. Otherwise, great recipe!
No changes Absolutely deliisious
I halved the recipe to try it. I really liked it. The sauce seemed like it was too much. May have to adjust to taste.
