Don't throw out your stale bread. Turn it into this custardy dessert that is bread pudding. One of my favourite things to do is collect little pieces from different loaves of bread (French, Italian) to give it some real texture and flavour excitement. :)

Looking for a great bread pudding recipe. One that doesn't contain liquor, but has LOTS of raisins! Anyone got one they'll share? The richer the better! Thanks!
Go to Cooks. com there's a very good Microwave Bread Pudding recipe. I like to use 12 grain bread, more raisins ( or craisins are good also) you can also use powdered milk and Egg Beaters with this recipe with good results and leave out the salt.

Hi Brenda,
The bread pudding I make is VERY simple, although many variations can be added.
6-8 slices bread, buttered. (I prefer butter-better flavour)
This is the recipe I use and everyone who has it says it is the best they ever had. I got this from an old friend who passed away many years ago.
Shirleys Bread Pudding-Whiskey Sauce
1 1/2 quarts milk or half-n-half 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla 15 eggs, slightly beaten
1 stick butter 1 cup golden raisins
1 cup chopped toasted pecans Cinnamon to taste
10-12 slices sour dough bread, cut into small squares
Butter a 9X13 pan Mix bread, raisins, nuts and cinnamon and put in pan. Blend sugar, vanilla, butter, milk and eggs in large pan and cook on low until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Pour over bread.
Whiskey Sauce
2 cup sugar 3/4 cup water
1 stick butter 2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup cold water 2 Tbs. cornstarch
3/4 cup whiskey
Cook first sugar, butter and 3/4 cup water until butter is melted and sugar dissolved. Thicken with cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water. Remove from heat, add vanilla and whiskey. This will not be thick-just a little more than if you didnt use the cornstarch and gives it a little body.
I make a delicious and EXTREMLY easy bread pudding. I tear up bread till 2/3's of a 3 qt cassarole dish is filled. I then put 1 Tblsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp each of cloves and nutmeg on the bread. Then I beat 4 eggs, a quart of milk, 1 Tblsp vanilla (pure is best) and pour that over the bread.
Both are basically just a custard with the bread or rice loaded into it.
I am trying to find a good and easy Bread Pudding with the vanilla sauce that goes over it. I can't seem to be able to find a good and easy one. Please help. I would like a creamy sauce to go over it. I've had it in restaurants that were delicious, but when I make it, it just isn't right. We don't like raisins though. Can any of you readers please help? My husband loves it

Google the following: southern food.about.com In the search put: bread pudding You will get many, many listings -- You should find what you're looking for.
You may want to fix it with a few raisins, as they will flavor the bread pudding, and just pick them out when you eat it. Sometimes you just have to use some ingredients or the dish will not taste the same. I love bread pudding with vanilla sauce!
I would like to request a recipe for a simple bread pudding. Thank you readers.

Hello Gabrielle,
It's been years since I've had bread & butter pudding myself but I found this recipe through google.
Bread and Butter Pudding
Butter the sides and bottom of a deep pudding dish; butter thin slices of bread and put in the dish. Sprinkle thickly with sugar, add a little cinnamon, chopped apple or any kind of preserves between each slice until dish is full. Beat 2 eggs and add a tablespoon of sifted flour; stir 3 cups of milk and a little salt; pour it over the bread and let stand 1 hour. Bake slowly with cover on, &frac; of an hour. Remove cover and let it brown.
I might try it myself.

Remove crusts from baked bread and cut into 1 inch cubes. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, salt and spices...
