My family loves strawberries but the thought of putting them in the oven did not appeal to me. The aroma while baking was pleasant. It was excellent. My son enjoyed it so much he had to take it to go so he wouldn't miss out on his share. Topping with a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream added to this heavenly delight.
WOW!! This a great dish using day old bakery french bread cubes!!! I halved the recipe and used a regular sized loaf pan. I let the bread sit with the berries about 20 minutes before combining with other ingredients. As per another reviewer's suggestion I added some ground cinnamon and a dash of ground cloves. I think this really gave added flavor to this dish. Sooo goood!!!! After baking I had no soggy spots are crusty edges. I've never like bread pudding before because of the raisins and the eggy taste. But this recipe is very tasty! I will be making this again since it is strawberry season now.
Fixed this for Mother's day well what can I say it was a hit... in addition I took fresh strawberries sliced with sugar and we put this on top... nothing left to bring home!!!
This recipe will be one of my standards from now on! Fantastic! I did change a couple of things. To make sure it is not soupy make sure the bread is very dry. I put it in the oven for 10 minutes. I also add 4 eggs instead of 3. I make it in a larger pan 9 x 12 and add more bread and strawberries and I add fresh blueberries. I don't increase the milk and cream except I use 1 cup cream. I think the cream is important for richness. I decrease sugar to 1/2 c. Comes out perfect and can be reheated just before serving if done earlier. I also keep it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before baking. I did it in the morning and left it 6 hours in the refrigerator and it was great.
Really good I didnt have any cream so I used all milk....Yummo
This recipe was beautiful. It is sweeter than standard bread pudding and I only used 2/3 cup of sugar. I also substituted strawberry yogurt for the cream. My entire family loved this pudding and it was pretty much gone in 24 hours.
This had great flavor! I used half of a loaf of leftover french bread. I also had to bake it for an additional 15-20 minute and it was still a little mushy. But overall we really liked it especially served with vanilla ice cream!
This is a family favorite in our home. I usually double the recipe using: 4 Tbsps of butter a 1 lb. loaf of brad 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries 2 cups milk 1 cup fat free Half & Half 1/2 cup low sugar strawberry jam or fruit spread 1 cup Splenda and 1 Tbsp vanilla baked in a 9x13" baking dish. I've also substituted 1/2 cup mashed banana for the strawberry fruit spread for s delicious Strawberry Banana Bread Pudding. If you like strawberries you'll love this recipe!!
i just threw in plussed up ingredients into a bigger pan estimating the amounts. this turned out excellent. the key was adding fresh strawberries and melted chocolate chips to the top.
