I have made this several times, its DELICIOUS!!!

I always make more topping.. and usually make 1 1/2 of the sauce.

Using Panettone (Italian fruited bread) is also good.

I don't measure exact amounts when I make bread pudding but I make it pretty much the way you do--I do like a heavier bread like French Bread or one of the artisan breads, and I add nutmeg along with the cinnamon, then sprinkle just a little nutmeg on top before baking (a little goes a long way). But I've wanted a vanilla sauce recipe to go with it, and I think this is just what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing it!

The vanilla sauce is very good!!

I think I'd add a little liquor, maybe Amaretto, in place of milk in the sauce.

Bread pudding is a favorite of mine. Thanks for the recipe; will give it a try.

I've learned that you can tweak bread pudding with additions of whatever you like. I've added sliced bananas, diced apple or peach, chocolate chips, dried cherries or cranberries, coconut, pecans (not all at once, of course).

OH YES! Great suggestion! Thank you!

Thanks Britt for this recipe! Bread pudding is one of our favs!

Respect I always add grand Marnier to my sauce, I also make my own vanilla out of spiced rum!! I also like a more fluffy pudding so I add more egg filling and extra sauce!! Delicious!! Britt
