Our first Barefoot Bloggers recipe from Ina Garten’s new cookbook
Barefoot Contessa
how easy is that?
Sometimes I don’t like bread pudding ~ I think it is a texture thing.
This recipe set-up very nicely and was very good.
This recipe set-up very nicely and was very good.
It begins by slicing and arranging challah bread tightly in a pan. The recipe calls for five cups half-and-half or milk. I used a can of evaporated milk and regular milk. With just a few tablespoons of honey you will definitely want the sweetness of added Maple syrup.
Placing the pan in a larger roasting pan, adding hot water and covering tightly with foil for the first half of the baking time produced a beautifully puffed bread pudding.
And to appease my sweet tooth, next time I am topping with a fruit compote!

Please feel free to send me a sample as I have had NO time to bake lately. It looks absolutely wonderful! My mother made amazing bread pudding-just the right texture between too custardy and too dry. It was perfect. This looks perfect too~ Hugs- Diana

Oh yes, looks good. I would brown some apples in some butter and cinnamon sugar, and pour it all over the top. Heaven!
