We love egg-based challah (or brioche) for its golden color and rich texture, but you can use Italian or white sandwich bread instead.

Cook's Notes

Bakery bread that's a day or two old (or sandwich bread that's gone slightly stale) also works well for bread pudding -- it may need to soak a little longer to absorb the liquid.

    I made this with 12 ounces of stale and/or day-old wheat bread and it turned out really good! Try sprinkling the mixture with 1/2 sugar and 1/2 cinnamon for a tasty topping before baking.

    Try adding a little dark rum along with the vanilla and add some pecan pieces too! Very yummy!

    This is easy and delicious I make it regularly for my grandson. I use both whole wheat and white bread and substitute Splenda for the regular sugar. It taste awesome and my diabetic husband can indulge. Thanks...

    This is so good and so easy that I often make it for everyday. I use an au gratin dish to make half a recipe--perfect for singles or couples.

    I made this for Christmas brunch. I used Croissants instead of challah bread. I also added a little bit of ground Cinnamon and brown sugar. It was delicious!!! Everyone loved it. Thinking of making this again for New Year's brunch.
