This is a great recipe! I replaced the hot water, with cold milk and used sticky brown treacle sugar which disolves wonderfully in cold liquid. I replaced half of the milk with cream and it was gorgeous! I sprinkled the dish with brown sugar and put a little butter on the top and it made a wonderful sticky glaze. I took two dishes to a dinner party and I brought them home clean. The guests loved it. Quick and easy too!!

I was a little sceptical about adding the water to this dish, and I believe it did affect the texture. It came out with the consistancy of wet scrambled eggs. Although the flavor was good. If I make this again I will omit the water and just sprinkle the brown sugar over the bread cubes before adding the remaining ingredients. Thank you for the recipe.

I'd been craving bread pudding for weeks, haven't had it in years! Made this, like others substituted milk and half & half for the water, added raisins. It was fantastic with a custardy taste and texture. I saw others commenting on the sauce, so I made a side of caramel sauce. My husband, who is the sweet tooth of the family, said that it didn't need it so he has his with ice cream and no caramel sauce. Will definitely make again!

OMG this is the best bread pudding I've ever eaten, even better than my Mom's and she was an awesome cook. I did replace the water with milk as I had some milk I needed to use up and added some raisins. Also didn't add the 1/2 cup of sugar as we don't like really sweet bread pudding. But however, you make this it is a winner. Thanks for submitting the recipe.

I really enjoyed this bread pudding. I have made it twice now and I made a few changes the second time. I used a day old baguette instead of regular bread, added golden raisins, and doubled the amount of cinnamon and vanilla. I preferred it with the extra cinnamon and vanilla, and raisins, as it was good the first time, but I felt it needed a little extra punch of flavor. Either way it was good, thanks for a great recipe.
