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!
