Made for dinner tonight and what a hit! I used 1 cup fresh blueberries instead of 1/2 cup raisins and they added a nice touch. Also, I didn't have any cream so I used milk. I doubled the vanilla and added 3 tsp cinnamon into the custard mixture instead of just sprinkling it on top. Everyone loved it. Even those who 'thought' they didn't like bread pudding. Didn't make any sauces... they just weren't necessary as the pudding was delicious without it. BTW, I had a bunch of leftover hotdog and hamburger rolls that were going to get stale or moldy, so most of my bread crumbs were those rolls. What a great way to use them up! Thanks for a tasty treat!

This is a great recipe in every way. Easy, delicious, satisfying. I served this with the sugar sauce, but it is good without it too. Perkin's restaurant has a new item on their breakfast menu - bread pudding french toast - I think this could be baked in a loaf pan, refrigerated, and then sliced, dipped in the egg/milk mix and fried, and then served with the sugar sauce &/or fruit for an extra special breakfast.

I have made this twice now and it is fantastic. The only changes I made was, (since i didn't have any whipping cream) i used 1 and 3/4 cups of milk total, and 1/4 cup of plain non fat yogert, the other thing i did differnt was i used about 6 cups of breat total, and baked for about 5 minutes longer. Maybe my bread wasn't as old or stale as it could have been, I don't see how it was hotdog, and burger buns from a week and a half ago. Oh and I made the brown sugar sauce, it is just wonderful, I couldn't stop "testing" it.thanks for such a wonderful recipe!

Excellent flavor and texture, but had to double the bake time.. I baked it 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Next time, I think I'll try ramikins for a more even bake. I did add 1 cup blueberries, probably affected the bake time some.

I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup & it's still delicious. Used 2 cups of half & half which should be roughly the same as1 cup each of whipping cream & milk. Also covered it before cooking to keep it creamy.

I had a lot of leftover pound cake from making Petit Fours, and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I tried using it in this bread pudding recipe. It was DELICIOUS! I also subbed chocolate chips for the raisins. I haven't tried any sauce on it yet. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

This was incredible!! We cubed a loaf of french bread and dried/slightly toasted in the oven. We used about 6 cups of bread, and the original amount of liquid and it came out great, with a crunchy layer on top, and nothing soggy in the middle. We also used chopped dried apricots instead of raisins which was delicious. The lemon sauce is great (though made about twice what we used, so will 1/2 it next time). Served with fresh whipped cream, but it didn't need it at all. Was a huge hit!

I made the pudding with the brown sugar sauce and it was wonderful. This will be my 'go to' bread pudding recipe from now on. I subbed apples for the raisins and replaced the heavy cream with milk just to lower the fat content. Thank you.
