I finally got around to making this on Friday, and it was fab-u-lous!

I had to improvise a bit with the ingredients, though. I used two cups whipping cream and a cup of almond milk and omitted the ground ginger and molasses. It was excellent without the molasses, but I imagine it would’ve been even better if I had put it in. Next time!

I made the bread pudding for a potluck brunch yesterday. It smelled divine while baking and felt like it weighed 10 pounds when I was putting it in the oven. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to eat it while still warm.

Changes I would make: I used the 4 egg/4 cup milk option. I would try 4 cups milk and 3 eggs for the next time. It was a little too eggy. I used challah bread, so that adds to the egginess. Also, I think I’d use 2% instead of the whole milk and see if it’s noticable. Otherwise, it was super-duper-wonderful!

Thanks for posting such enticing recipes!!

Hey there,

I made this recipe but subsituted almond milk for the milk and date honey for the unslufered mollases and it came out wonderful!! I keep kosher so making a parve bread pudding was risky but it came out great. Keep up the great work! Love your recipes!

Thanks for this recipe! I made a couple of changes to the recipe for personal preference (and because I had the stuff on-hand). I soaked the raisins in hot apple cider and used lowfat milk, and it came out beautifully!

I’ll have to put this one on the short-list of nap time recipes to try. I’m a new mom, too – I can completely identify with the too-many-recipes-not-enough-time problem as well as the insane thirst during feedings. So glad to hear I’m not alone!

mmm…I bet this would be amazing with a warm caramel sauce!

I started to salivate when I saw this recipe. I’m a fan of bread pudding but find that it’s really hard to find a perfect consistency. I wanted to make this for Thanksgiving but realize that baking experiments don’t fare well with my large family so I tested it out today with my coworkers. It was a H-I-T!

My grocery store was out of challah bread so I just used a loaf of french bread and decided to use the crust. I also substituted white sugar with brown. Yum yum in my tum tum. I am now officially ready to make this for my family on Thanksgiving.

Thanks again for a great recipe!

Oooh, I like bread pudding that’s not too gelatinous, I bet this would be perfect.

But I have a question for you. What do you do with your leftovers?? I’m nursing too, but no amount of nursing is going to make up for eating all of the sweets I crave to bake. :o

I hear ya on feeding a baby, nursing or bottle-fed. It’s not as easy as it seems like it would be!! And, it can be incredibly frustrating. Especially at 3 in the morning. I had to start a stash of sweets right next to the spot I nurse my little guy, reserved just for feeding sessions, to make it into something to look forward to in the middle of the night instead of resenting my cute little alarm clock.

just HAD to comment to tell you I made your pumpkin bread pudding for a brunch a couple weeks ago. IT WAS PERFECT. I used whole milk and ff 1/2 and 1/2 and it had the perfect denseness (not TOO), the perfect sweetness, and the perfect amount of spice. Rarely do I make a recipe and NOT think to myself ‘this was good but NEXT TIME…’
