Posted: 11/27/07 at 10:52pmI think it boils down to bread and butter being very important.

You forgot chocolate.

Posted: 11/28/07 at 1:35amIn my town, there's is a very popular variation known as Spano's Crumb Pudding. I'll get the recipe tomorrow and post it here. It was a Sunday staple at my last restaurant and it is heavenly.

I know I forgot chocolate and brioche. I'm not crazy about brioche I must have left it out on purpose.
WW-Anything with crumbs sounds great. Nothing but butter and sugar-how could it be bad?

From America's Test Kitchen - for those who aren't familiar with them, they take hundreds of recipes for whatever dish they're making and test them all. They then look at the science of it all, what elements work and don't work and combine what they've learned into one "Best" recipe for that dish:
A firm white American-style bakery loaf bread gives the best texture to this pudding. In a pinch, however, use Pepperidge Farm Hearty White Bread. Avoid chewy, crusty European-style breads because they do not soften properly in the custard. For an extra-creamy bread pudding with a sauce beneath a crisp top layer, remove about 1 cup of soaked bread and 1 cup of soaking liquid to a food processor or blender and puree them until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add the puree back to the rest of the mixture and stir to combine before transferring it to the baking dish. If desired, serve this pudding with softly whipped cream.
INGREDIENTS
Cinnamon Sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Bread Pudding
4 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon table salt
12 ounces good quality American-style white bread (about 1/2 loaf), sliced 3/8-inch thick and cut into 1 1/2 -inch square pieces (about 8 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted, plus extra for greasing pan
1. For the Cinnamon Sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside.
2. For the Pudding: Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
3. Whisk eggs, yolk, and sugar in a large bowl to blend well. Whisk in milk, cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in 6 cups prepared bread; mix thoroughly to moisten. Let stand 20 minutes.
4. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Scatter remaining 2 cups bread pieces on top, pushing down gently to partially submerge. Brush exposed bread with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until pudding is deep golden brown, is beginning to rise up sides of baking dish, and jiggles very slightly at the center when shaken, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool until set but still warm, about 45 minutes. Serve.

Posted: 11/28/07 at 10:13amThis looks like a super recipe! Putting butter on the top layer will make it crusty and crunchy - if you like that sort of thing. At least my customary use of white bread is vindicated. Croissants sound like a good idea but may be too much of a good thing.

Yeah, they don't seem to recommend croissants. I thought the same thing about them not softening up the right way. This recipe looks good.
Oh so many choices! I'll tell you one thing-I tried Whole Foods bread pudding and it wasn't good!
