I absolutely loved this recipe. Made it for my husband and friends and it was a huge hit. I accidently forgot the sugar, but offered topping such as half and half, whipped cream, ice cream and caramel sauce and the compliments quickly came in. My husband suggested the next time I make it to cut back on the raisins and add a cubed, peeled apple and/or pear. Definitely will try that!Thanks for sharing!

Edna Hoffman, you are a culinary genius! What a wonderful recipe! This bread pudding made my taste buds happy and my childhood memories vivid. We had a Fall Feast potluck at work, and we were supposed to bring a "comfort" dish that we associated with the Fall season. This was what I chose, and I doubled it (no problem). It certainly seemed to evoke fond memories in all of my co-workers! There wasn't a crumb left, despite three loaded tables of food. I just baked the cinnamon rolls the night before and put them in the fridge without covering them. Easy to fix - used two tubes of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is hands down the best Bread Pudding Recipe out there. All my friends wanted the recipe. I tripled it to make a large crock pot amount for a large party. I added one Fuji apple, cored and peeled. I cubed the apple and put it in at the beginning. I also made carmel creme sauce to serve with it. I used fat free caramel sauce and mixed it with heavy whipping cream that I had slightly heated on the stove. Mix the caramel sauce into the heated cream, stirring the entire time. So good to drizzle over the warm bread pudding!

Made this in place of a birthday cake while on a ski trip. We had no oven so this was a perfect dessert for the occasion. Everyone loved it. Used leftover the next morning to make patties and fried them like french toast. Even yummier that way!

My husband and I are trying to reduce are fat,calorie,and cholesterol content so for this recipe I substitute the eggs for egg substituteor use egg whites. I also use Vanilla Soy Milk for the milk and reduce the raisins to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup walnuts or slivered almonds.I also reduce the butter to 3 tablespoons instead of 1/4 cup as well as the sugar and prefer using brown sugar instead of granulated white sugar. I enjoy being creative and modifying recipes to meet my family's needs.

A wonderful, quick & easy lemon sauce for this is Jello or any boxed lemon pudding/pie filling. Use the pudding directions, but don't use eggs (so it won't set up). Serve warm over the bread pudding...yum!!

I have made it with Splenda and it was great--I don't use egg substitute--too expensive.

Have you tried this with the egg substitute and splenda? I don't know why it wouldn't work. Sounds good to me.

I would also like to know if this recipe could be made in a 6 qt. cooker? And if it should be doubled. Thanks, Monda49

I have been making bread pudding in the slow cooker for a number of years. Normally use 3-4 cookers at the same time for the bread pudding. Have multiplied the recipe many times.OK. I prefer to cook on high for an hour and then on low for 3 hours or less.

Can this recipe for a 3 qt cooker be adapted to a 6 qt cooker? Should it be doubled and cooked the same amount of time?Thanks,Sandy Y
