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!

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!
