Tuesday's with Dorie: Four Star Chocolate Bread Pudding


I liked this recipe because it was a bit different than usual.  I'd never had bread pudding before making this.  What did I think?  I like it!  The best part is it was easy to make.  

I chose to bake the pudding in my ramekins instead of a 9 x 13 pan because I didn't have a roasting pan or anything else large enough to put the 9 x 13  into.   For the bread, I ended up using an Italian bread that I found at the commisary, but if I were to make this recipe again, I would love to try brioche.  The bread by itself sounds delicious!  

Also, I decided I had had enough with the dark chocolate until someone suggested I use Ritter. Oh, it is so obvious that I should have been doing this all along.  Why oh why didn't I think of this before?  I'm in Germany after all, why haven't I been taking advantage of the fabulous chocolate they have here?  Even the dark tastes good.  At last I have come to peace with using dark chocolate.  :)

So, if you have some white bread that has gone stale, or you want to try something a little different,  head on over to A Baking Blog AKA Upper East Side Chronicle by Lauren to get the recipe.  Thanks, Lauren, for choosing this week's recipe!

Ritter? WOW...a new chocolate that I've not tried! I used Wawel 90% cocoa and it was perfect!

Great job!

Michelle,

I've never heard of Wawel. Is it German? Ritter Sport is basically just a German chocolate bar. :)

Germany does have some wonderful chocolate. And to be able to get it and use it.... Make sure you bring plenty of it home in 4 months. And you can find Ritter here - Target, World Market. Maybe I will try some in baking.

BTW bread pudding looks good.
