This recipe was really, really good and very versitile! I used bread straight from the sandwich loaf you buy for sandwiches. I had a can of Comstock apples that I chopped and added in, and the juice left in the can I added to the margarine (it wasn't much). Then I was thinking that it might come out too moist, so I thought some oatmeal might be good, all I had were the packets of instant Maple & Brown sugar, so I added two of them, and it came out really really good! Not too moist. I might add a little more sugar next time as the apples didn't have any and it needed extra. Otherwise, really yummy! I too used the the vanilla sauce from Grammas Bread Pudding, it made the sugar mixture that was missing just right, otherwise, too sweet. Will use this one over and over again!

Great! I've tried a few bread puddings from this site, and I liked them all, but one was a bit dry, and one a bit gooey. This was the perfect balance.

I have made this many times and never changed a thing, except for the size of dish(do mine in individual dishes) and that I mix the butter in with the other "wet" ingredients. It's always turned out PERFECTLY. Sometimes I mix up everything and put them in the dishes just before company arrives, and they sit on the counter for awhile (an hour or more) and then I pop them in the oven just as we sit down for dinner and they still turn out amazing. I do make the vanilla sauce that appears in the grandma's apple pudding recipe and that always works for me too. I drizzle a little of that on top just before serving.

When I made it I mixed all the ingredients in the same bowl. It was absolutely delicious!!! I'll make it again many times.

This was okay. I didn't have the right size bake ware so I had to use a couple of small dishes. I think that because of this, there didn't seem to be much to it. It also didn't seem like it was sweet enough. But I am going to try making this again with the right size dish

Loved this one! Followed the recipe as is, except toasted country white bread and used evaporated milk equal portioned with water. Could not find a recipe for vanilla sauce as others had recommended, however I used the sauce to Gramma's apple bread pudding which is on this site. Thanks for the best bread pudding ever.........

Great recipe Nancy!! I had lost the one that I had used and printed this one off as a substitute. Hey if I find the old one I'll chuck it and keep this one!!! This was delicious and lasted only thru the next day with just the 2 of us. A very basic recipe but easy to fix and with just the right amount of cinnamon/vanilla & sugar. We loved it.

Great recipe though Iwould leave out the raisins as mine all ended up at the bottom and I also had to cook mine way longer than the recipe called for. But over all good bread pudding.

YUUUMMMMYYY! I took in all the reviews and this is what I came up with. I started off with 12 pieces country white bread and cut off the crusts(I tend not to like the crust) then cubed and mixed with melted butter and 11/2tbsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg for better flavor. I skipped the raisins because I didn't want in my dish but you could add diced apples as well.(if you do add raisins I would soak for 8min in boiling water or apples in the melted butter to soften) For the milk I did- 1 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 cup heavy cream for a richer flavor. I followed the rest and I did use a 2quart baking dish but I rested it in a 13X9 inch dish filled 1/3 with warm water to bake (read it makes a a little more custard like opposed to mushy). I baked for like 40-45 minutes to let the top get that little crunch. Out of the oven I ate a third-it was so good! the rest of the family finished it off. Will have to make again real soon!

I have become the bread pudding expert. This is very good. I added walnuts and a sauce to add before serving. However, this recipe is also under Bread Pudding III and Bread Pudding III does not have the soaking the bread 5 minutes before putting in oven. This is important.

I buttered slices of bread and layered it a baking dish before pouring over the egg/milk mixture. Used a brioche loaf and also added some raisins. My husband thought it was wonderful. I am not really a fan of bread puddings so thought it was just ok.

I caught my husband out in the kitchen sneaking MORE of this bread pudding! He absolutely LOVES it! He said "It's SO GOOD..I could just sit down and eat this whole thing!!" Bread Pudding was a favorite of my husband's since he was little..a friend's mom used to make it for him. I have been searching off and on for many years for a recipe that would be exactly like the one he remembered and this one was it! My 2 boys wouldn't try it but my 4 girls did and they thought it was pretty good too. I had never tried anyone else's bread pudding or even heard of it before I met my husband. It has a mushy texture to it, to me anyway, but the flavor is wonderful. It's the best one I've made yet! I did add an extra 1/2 cup of raisins and I might even add more than that next time. I will be making this again. Thanks!

This recipe was very easy, but needs more sugar. It is just not sweet enough. I made a glaze to go over it. Everyone loved it!
