I used Sara Lee Sweet Hawaiian Rolls and a loaf of Cinnabon Cinnamon Bread and cut into cubes--
6 cups cubed bread- your choice
2 cups evaporated milk
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
______________
TOPPING:
1/2 cup soft butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Mix together and set aside
_______________
Preheat oven to 350*
Grease your pan...I used a cast iron skillet
_______________
In large bowl add the eggs and egg yolks, milk , vanilla and the brown sugar. Whisk like crazy till all blended well. Pour over your bread cubes. Mix well and let set 10 minutes to soak up all that goodness.
Pour into your greased pan and press down all over. Spread your topping over top and bake for 40 minutes.
Note: As i had never made before i did not leave room for the bit of expansion and topping sugary gooeyness ran all over and on the bottom of oven ( thankfully it was covered with foil!) but it sure smoked like crazy!
Should be nice and pretty and take out cool just a tad and drizzle with caramel sauce. I used jarred but you can make your own easy enough..
Enjoy
My mom would make bread pudding all the time..I would never try it cuz my vision of soggy bread just didn't seem like something i wanted to put in my mouth..BUT after making this...OMG...so delicious..so not soggy just a mouth full of yumm..
