This was a wonderful recipe so much better than the plain bread pudding recipes I've tried. I can't say that I would change anything it was perfect when followed the exact recipe.
Mine didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped it would; the custard never formed. :-( Maybe someone can help me figure out where I went wrong? I used soft wheat bread, would that make that big of a difference?
I made a few adjustments after reading previous reviews. Used 4 cups stale bread and added a dash of cardamom. If I had cooked it a wee bit longer, it would have been PERFECT, but that's my own fault. Great basic recipe!
Seemed overly soggy. Followed directions. It had good flavor.
Instead of berries I just added another 16 oz of peaches and kept everything else to the recipe, next time I’m going to use apples instead because the spices would work really well for that.
1.30.21 Not sure what happened, because I followed the instructions to the letter. The eggs cooked up almost like overdone scrambled eggs, and there was no custard. Yes, it tasted OK, but the consistency was strange, and it had zero eye appeal.
Flavor was good, not to sweet. It never formed a custard like consistency. Maybe less milk? I ended up using a whole loaf of Brioche bread, and put it under the broiler in the end to brown the top. Still was way to soggy for me.
It was okay. Not the best ever. We did eat it but the younger kids in particular weren't fans. Maybe I overcooked it or something. Other bread puddings I've made in the past have been better.
No changes made to it and i will make this again. it was a hit with the family
