Wanted to let you know that if you have leftover hamburger, hotdog buns or rolls for sub sandwiches, you can split them and toast on a tray in the oven and use up that extra bread in making this bread pudding. Works just as well and a good way to use up bread before you have to feed it to the birds or toss it. 1/2 of a burger, hotdog or sub roll will equasl one slice of farmhouse-style bread.
This is so good! I just used reg white bread & altho I added 4 extra slices, I don’t think it was enough because the pudding was a little too mushy for my taste. My fault tho, not the recipe’s. If I use reg bread again, I think I would use at least 6 extras, possibly even more. The vanilla sauce is totally different than other vanilla sauce I’ve had/made before. It’s thicker, like a thinned out pudding, so it kind of spreads over the bread pudding, instead of soaking down into the bread. It threw me at first but I really liked it! 1 more note, I put mine into a 3 qt dish because that’s what I had availble. It baked perfectly in that size, puffing up over the top, but not spilling over & I didn’t have to cover it at all, it was perfectly golden. Of course, it deflated while cooling(normal). I’m not sure mine would’ve fit into a 2 qt dish, as called for in the recipe.
This was tasty. Although, it is really sweet! I didn’t have farm house bread, but the recipe said to use a “hearty” style bread, so I used bread from a homemade loaf I made the other day. I only had a small 1.5 oz box of raisins, and just used that. I don’t care for raisins that much anyway. After 1 hour of baking I noticed the bread had risen to the top and the sauce was on the bottom. I stirred it lightly and then put it back in the oven for 10 minutes, and it thickened up fine. The bread pudding was very sweet, like I had said, so I do wish I would have cut back the sugar some. The sauce did have a nice brown sugar and vanilla taste. However, it is also really sweet and does thicken up almost immediately after it cools just slightly. It might have to be thinned out a little, with some milk or cream, especially if using it the next day.
