    I made this with regular 2% milk and plain old white bread and it turned out great. I’m sure it would taste of coarse better as the recipe calls for better ingredients, but it still turned out great, thank you.

    Have you tried making this the night before to bake in the morning? I’ve looked at many recipes and I think this one sounds like it would make just what i’m looking for but with company coming it seems more convenient to have the pudding assembled and just pop in oven.

      I haven’t, but bread pudding isn’t far off from French toast, and I make a lot of overnight French toast casseroles. I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t make it ahead of time. Good luck! =)

    Would you believe I’ve never eaten, or made, bread pudding?

    Everybody adds raisins/sultanas (hate those)
    I can always think of something more exciting to make for dessert, despite knowing I could simply omit ingredients I don’t like!!!!

    But, I have some croissants that need using and had considered making a bread style pudding with cinnamon, then I came across this recipe, what excellent timing.

    Thanks for sharing this.

      I never put the raisins in mine either, though chocolate chips make a nice substitute for them. Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts, so I hope that you enjoy it, too! =)
