I loved this recipe easy and very creamy. I took another members suggestion and added more cinnamon I also thought it too sweet next time I will reduce the amount of sugar.
I loved the taste and texture of this bread pudding. So creamy! However it needed more flavor. I made a quick whiskey sauce and Oh Yum! Perfect!
Fantastic recipe!!! I made it for my work my husbands work and my family... everyone loved it!!! I didn't butter the bread first or mix the bread in with the mixture I layered the bread in the pan and poured it on top. I added butter last in slivers randomly on the top after it was all put together. I added allot more cinnamon than it called for and in one of the pans I added a can of pumpkin into the mix. The pumpkin one was a SMASH hit! Thankyou for the recipe! For my first time making bread pudding it was a foolproof and an easy one to do! Happy Holidays!!!!
First, many thanks to all who took the time to enter a review. It certainly was a big help to me. I made the following changes: 4 qt (10x15) glass baking dish, 1 doz extra large eggs, 19 slices of cinnamon bread, 1 cup golden raisins which I placed in a bowl of very hot water (to plump up) for 15 mins, 3 tsp of vanilla and 3/4 cup of sugar. I let the bread soak up the egg/vanilla mixture for 15 mins before I added the other ingredients. Didn't need the cinnamon or nutmeg and didn't butter/toast the bread beforehand. Baked at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 mins. Very, very tasty!
This recipe is very rich but, will it ever make your mouth water! I have made this a over and over with nothing less than great reviews. Thank you Joey.
This recipe came out very good but I kinda goofed through it. Mine was very thick & custardy with a nice crusty top even though I realized after I skipped the 'toast bread' step. Mine was already a couple of days old and nice and firm which helped to spread the butter and not smoosh the bread. I had to use about 3 cups heavy whipping cream and 2 cups half&half as that is what I had on hand. It wasn't grainy at all even without a water bath which I really liked. I also accidently dumped quite a bit of cinnamon after the shaker top fell off (oopsie!) but if this hadn't happened I think it may have been too bland. I will make this again with the same 'adjustments'. Yummy!
This is excellent! I took a shortcut and buttered only one side of the toast but it turned out to be fantastic anyway. I also topped it with a vanilla sauce I found on another recipe website and it made this recipe beyond belief. In case you're wondering the vanilla sauce I used was: 1/2 cup of butter 1/2 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp of vanilla. Wonderful!
This was the best bread pudding I've ever tasted. Many recipes come out thick and dry but this one was custardy as promised. My family loved it! I did use a bit more than a "pinch" of each spice but otherwise this recipe is flawless.
I made this today for thanksgiving and it was a dud. I thought it needed alot more than a pinch of cinnamon and it wasn't very tastey. Maybe more cinnamon and sugar.
