My mom was a waitress and she brought home the old bread and sweet rolls and put them in the freezer until we had enough for bread pudding. We were a family of 10, so it took a lot of bread type items. I always loved it when we had more sweet rolls than bread. I'm 77 years old and this is a fond memory.
Try using Great Value Brand Texas Toast at only $2.12 per loaf. A restaurant we love makes an award-winning pecan bread pudding that is addictive and they use Texas toast. To save money I use a loaf of Walmart bakery French bread. If I am making it the same day I buy the marked down loaf that expires that day. Less than a $2 for a loaf. Another award winning chocolate bread pudding that a chef used to make at a local recipe used French bread. I have that recipe
Omg. This was my mom's recipe. She passed away at 86. I miss her so much. I got teary eyed at the end of your video when you got a little choked up. But you really brought back great memories for me. Thank you. Going to make this for sure. I can't wait
Tom your such a sweet heart. I just saw this bread pudding video. At the end when you got so emotional. I am 76 yrs old and i still miss my folks mor then any one can understand. I will see them again soon. So when you got emotional, you showed your self to us. My heart reacted and i got teary right along with you. Melissa your a lucky woman to have somone love you so much. I am single with one son. I also tried 2 times to have what you have. He is lucky to have you as well. Hold on to each other. With Gods love we can do all things. So thank you for showing us all who you guys really are. It means so much. 😢 💐 😊
You are so kind and we really do appreciate those sweet, sweet words. You are very encouraging and I hope you know what a gift you have for that. Your words have truly touched me tonight. We do, indeed, feel very blessed in our marriage. God was so good to us when He put us together. Thank you so much for watching our channel and accepting us for who are - certainly not professionals in any way but enjoying creating this channel together. I hope you have a wonderful upcoming holiday season. May God bless you always!
@comesitatmytable9044 I will have a great day. Both holidays will be with my son, and that will be the best. Know that I will be keeping you all in my prayers always. You be blessed as well during this holidays times.
I.made thisbone time Sir, because I am craving for Bread Pudding, so I said Hhmmm why not give this a try, and you know what aftet so many years of nit baking bread pudding, this is by far thebest bread puddingI have ever baked along with your vanilla caramel sauce it's so perfectly yummy! Iam from Manila, Philippines🙋♀🥰
My grandma would use leftovers biscuits. I loved it she would put can peaches in her's and think of her every time I think of bread pudding. I am going to try making it for my grandkids.
My mom used cold biscuits in her bread pudding. Sometimes she would make a hard sauce to go with it! Mom was a great cook, as well as all my aunt's! Grandma taught them well! Mom also made "dip" to go with hot cobbler. A cup of sweet milk, couple tablespoons of sugar & a splash of vanilla. Stir it all together until sugar is dissolved, cover & store in refrigerator. When fruit cobbler came out of oven, let it cool while you eat supper. When ready for hot cobbler, pour some dip in each dish of cobbler! Just like melted ice cream on cobbler. Guess you might call it poor man's ice cream.
Hello friends, Tom the love you have for you're Mom is sweetly conveyed through this video. She must have been a great Mom. My Mom went to heaven 3 years ago,she was a excellent cook and made our childhood special with her good cooking, kind ways and her love for Jesus. I appreciate how kind you are to Melissa giving her the first bite, that made me smile . God bless you and Melissa. P.s. I seen some of the mean post in the comments, I am sorry people have little to no manners. Please know these videos are enjoyed by the majority.
My momma passed away almost exactly a year ago, on October 18. She loved her some bread pudding! I got teary eyed when Tom said he wished he could have his mom make bread pudding just one more time for him…I totally understand those feelings, I’d do anything to share any of the things we loved with mom again. I miss her so very much sometimes it’s all I can do to not just crumble into a heap of tears! They say time heals all wounds, clearly I’m gonna need more time. Thank you for reminding me to make the bread pudding she enjoyed so much, I know it’s very yummy stuff, and that vanilla caramel sauce is amazing on top!! I love your videos, I feel like I know you guys lol. I love your style of cooking, very similar to what I grew up eating. I appreciate you both, and thank you for all your time and effort to put out such fantastic recipes!! ❤
Yours is the #1 cooking/baking site! I don't bother with the others anymore Thank you very much for laying it all out and giving a history to each recipe. Both you and your wife are so sweet and welcoming!
McColleen555, You jit the nail on the head with what you said. I feel the same way about these two bueatifil people. I have been watching a lot of cooking channels as well. They are really almost like our real friends. Sorry to bother you, but I just had to let you know I was there with you about this. God bless you.
We did too! And in these times, since I'm retired. it's good to use up ingredients and make things that ring back memories of six of us around our table, telling stories and teaSing each other. gOOD TIMES!!!!
Hey Y'all I made bread pudding when I lived with a pair of men on my homeless journey in 2012. They loved it as much as I loved making it. I make it with bread from a local bakery and plan on taking some to that bakery the next time I go visit them. I impressed them with the idea of using their cinnamon bread in the recipe! Now, I need to make the sauce and add it to the bread pudding for added indulgence. Thank you so much for the idea. I love your channel and how homely it feels!
Speaking of memories, of course this reminds me of my Mom. She’s been gone 26 years now. She too would have been 91 this year. I was convinced she could make something out of nothing. We usually had milk & cream from a nearby farm but not always raisins. Then she would whip that farm-fresh cream just before we ate it. I miss her so much. Thank you.😀🍁🎃
My mother would be 115 if she were alive. You can figure I'm no spring chicken either. But I still love life and thank God for each day. And, oh yes, I still have wonderful dreams of my mother. I'll see her in heaven when I get there.
Y''all must have been setting around our table last night because bread pudding was our conversation. I just said to my husband and daughter I wished I had a good recipe. Now I have one. Thank you! We all know momma's have the best recipes.
My mom made bread pudding too. She made quite a few “depression era” foods. I stash bread pieces in the freezer till I have enough of whatever kind and make it pretty often. I also make overnight blueberry French toast casserole, which is just bread pudding with blueberries. I’m so surprised at the speed your channel has grown but it’s actually easy to see why. I’m watching it go up and I bet you reach 100k by tonight. Congrats.
I was really very close to my Nana, and after she passed, the first time I made her Health bread and took a bite, I burst into tears! Our smells and tastes are linked to memories so strongly! I can't wait to try this bread pudding, a real favorite of mine❣️❣️ Thanks, y'all, for another wonderful video from your table.
Yes, food does trigger memories. When we heard my grandma was coming to visit, we started saving the heels of the loaf of bread so she could make her bread pudding. I never got her recipe ( not that she really had one….she cooked a lot without recipes). This is definitely one recipe I will be making. ❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing, and I also had a little tear in my eye remembering my grandma.
Hey Tom and Melissa. Greetings from Edmonton Alberta. I love bread pudding. I grew up on a real meat and potatoes diet as well, my mom was a Registered Nurse and worked lots of odd shifts and my dad who was a mechanic, cooked a lot of our meals and he started as a cooks helper at age 13 in a lumber camp in Ontario to help support his family when my grandfather lost his leg in 1944. He was a good solid cook and this was the kind of thing he made. I learned from him my basic cooking skills and had a good grounding. Your channel is very much like that. A good grounding in good solid home cooking. And I love the “waste not want not”approach to Tom’s cooking. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Looks delicious. Yummy yum yum yum. Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐶 companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 🐶💕👍✝️🙏🐾🐰💌💞
My Grandmother made desserts, you never knew what kind. But she had a trick. She waited until we were ready to leave and then said, Oh don’t leave yet, I have made a coconut cake and I wanted you to have some.
1. You are correct- cinnamon raisin bread makes awesome bread pudding. 2. Sounds crazy but I still love sliced bread instead of hotdog or hamburger buns 😆 3. Everytime I start baking, I miss my mom. I think the fact that it tugs at your heart means she did a great job. 🎉
I've used cranberry orange bagels that I had left over ,I don't mix my custard mix in a blender and I mix all together in big pot or bowl to make sure all mixes .u leave ti on counter ( aren't u worried of samiola ) I put it in fridge about 20 minutes I tell feel mix to see if soaked in ,than bake like your mom did .yes hot or cold sauce or not ,both good.
Thank you!! I miss my Moms cooking, and the way you put the ingredients together reminds me of the way she did things. She was a wonderful southern cook. Im 71 and she's been gone for several years, but you never forget the way our Mom done things. Yummy ❤
Sometimes my mom used day old generic cinnamon rolls with the bread. Sometimes she would substitute a can of pumpkin for part of the milk. You cannot ruin bread pudding. I think I will go make some right now.
I have a crockpot recipe for bread pudding that I came across many years ago. I made it a few times back when my dad was first sick and family or company would stop by. Everyone loved it. I used cinnamon raisin bread for it.
Tom, love watching your videos and appreciate that you use ingredients that most of us have in our pantry. You do a wonderful job and explain thing very well including the prep. Keep up your good work, your former role as a teacher shines with your presentation!
I am a Bread Pudding junkie. I made your version this weekend and really loved it. I tried to find Brioche bread to make it with but resorted to using g Brioche Hamburger Buns which worked perfect. I really like the step of pouring the melted butter over the pan before baking, it added a nice complexity and crunch to the bread on top. The recipe I usually make has 1/2 cup shredded coconut and the same of chopped pecans (equally as good as your Mom’s recipe). The Vanilla Caramel Sauce was a wonderful addition and it reminds me of the sauce I make for Sticky Toffee Pudding from Scotland. The leftover sauce would be perfect over a baked apple or ice cream too. As a side interest when I lived in London it was called Bread and Butter Pudding and served with warm thin custard sauce over it (As most their “Pud’s are). I learned Golden Raisins in the UK are called Sultana’s.
I’m in my 70’s and my momma made bread pudding also, she used Evaporated milk in hers but the rest of the recipe your mom made is about the same , but momma never made a sauce to go over hers ! I still make my mommas bread pudding and now I’ll use your mommas sauce on my mommas bread pudding ! Thank you both for sharing your recipes with us!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Hello Becky, I’m also in my seventies. My mom used can milk too… milk was too expensive. She used it place of milk in mostly everything. Even mashed potatoes..and I cook the way she did. Everyone loves my mashed potatoes. Although I never cared for bread pudding I will try Tom’s with his sauce.😊
@@evelynwilliams5174 it’s very good with sauce ! Yes I use evaporated milk to make whole milk momma taught us how , you just mix a can of milk with a can of water if you want 2% milk mix 2 cans if water to 1 can of milk , and I use canned milk to make mashed potatoes slso snd my potato soup , it makes a much richer soup snd potatoes slso gravy !!
Our grocery has a discounted bread rack where they sell older bread really cheap. We will use whatever they have there (donuts, croissants, rolls, etc.) to make bread pudding. It is a good dessert, but is a really good breakfast!
I just made this. In fact, I'm enjoying some as I write. I happened to have everything -- even some brioche in the freezer that needed to be used. This was SO DELICIOUS, especially with that yummy sauce. I had to gild the lily and put a dollop of whipped cream on it, too lol. I just wish I had made this for my parents when they were alive, as they loved bread pudding, and I didn't "get it." I was late to the party. I apologized to them for not even trying (I like to think they can hear me). In any case, I so appreciate you and Melissa for these yummy, homey recipes. Definitely my cup of tea! I have also tried your chicken and dressing casserole, and it was very tasty, indeed. Thanks!
That looks so good. It is something from my childhood also. I also love rice pudding. If you have an Aldi store near you they usually have brioche bread and buns. Thanks Tom and Melissa 🍞💕
I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found it. I have to say this, and I hope no one comes for me, but my pet peeve with some of these videos is when the host has annoying, repetitive phrases or habits. You have NONE !!! You are so well spoken and organized and I hope that doesn’t change as your channel grows. It’s what sets you apart. Thank you, and I hope you have continued success. ❤
I watched this twice. My Mama LOVED bread pudding. I teared up when Tom said his mother used all types of bread. We used regular white bread for hot dogs and hamburgers. Mama was a single parent and she didn’t waste a single crumb. We were poor but very happy. My Mama could make magic with anything. The mixer reminded me of the one we had. She bought at a Church rummage sale and it sure did last a very long time. I’m a FAN & Subscriber. Thank you. Gloria
Being a girl from the hills of West Virginia, I was accustomed to eating bread pudding from many different homes and restaurants, but the best bread pudding ever was made by my mother in law, she made hers with day old biscuits, the consistency was denser and moister than others, it was divine. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming. God bless you all.
If someone is hassling you over having unclean eggs in a bowl that you then used to crack the eggs into, well,t hose people have too much time on their hands. It’s your kitchen, you cook how you,like to cook! Keep the great videos coming!!
Thank you so very much for honoring your mother by sharing this recipe! Regardless of our family history and socioeconomic status, many of our memories are connected to foods and meals. We used to have specific regional and cultural cuisines, but with migration, more affordable transportation, decrease in family farms ane diversity in employment, television, and social media we are enjoying foods beyond what our parents ate! Aren't we lucky to have both our family heritage foods AND such a diverse variety! I so enjoy ALL the recipes you and Melissa prepare and share! God bless you and your family and friends!
Hello there Tom.Boy do I remember chocolate cold breadpudding.I mother had a wood stove when we were kids, and one of the breads that came out of that oven was cold breadpudding.i s Nearly 80 years old and you brought back. Memories.Thanks
My wife and I have never tasted bread pudding before we watched your video and it looked very interesting so last night we made a batch to take to our Pastor appreciation lunch today. The bread pudding was an absolute hit. Thank you so much it was absolutely wonderful
I’m 74 and this brings back some nice memories. My cousins and I used to fight over who would get the first serving of bread pudding. Fond memories. Thanks for sharing Tom and Melissa.
Oh my, I love this. I'll be making it this week. I love your videos...you explain what you are doing very well. And your wife is very good with the camera 😊 she keeps it steady and shows close ups. 😊 I can't wait to see what's cooking for the holidays.
One day I came to work and bread pudding was on the menu. As a cook, Well, no bread was in the kitchen. I found stale donuts. Best pudding ever i made.
Tom and Melissa my mum used to use slices of bread with jam on it to make this and I always loved it ,but I would love to try this recipe .thanks guys from Australia 🇦🇺
We also seldom had desserts on a regular basis, but when we did, it was either apple pie, Mom's fudge, or bread pudding with hard sauce. They were such a treat! Thank you for a great video.
OMGosh, I love bread pudding. My daughter does NOT like raisins, but, I do. I like how you sprinkle the raisins on top, I can leave them off on one side. Thanks for the idea.
As a kid, I was not a fan of bread pudding at all, didn’t like squishy bread foods. As an adult, however, I love the stuff. I do still prefer to eat the outside edge because it’s less wet, but I’ve come to appreciate it for what it is and the memories iit generates.
I love bread pudding. Many years ago I worked at a hospital in the dietary department. One of our bakers used to make some of the best bread pudding. Of course, we had glazed donuts every morning I the cafeteria. We'll, Mary had several leftover glazed donuts in the refrigerator so she used them for making bread pudding. It was absolutely delicious!
I love bread pudding and have so many recipes for it. The funny thing is, all of them are delicious. But, yours is a real good one. I sell Watkins products, so I am happy to see you using their great Bakers Vanilla.
Tom, i just love you guys so much. Every time you make something that your mom made, you get emotional, and that touches my heart so very much. I have seen you make that bread pudding so many times. I am a very emotional person as well, so it always makes me think of my folks. I sure hope you have your cookbooks still available next month. I just can't swing it now. Seems like i spend half my life waiting for my check to get posted, lol. Oh well, there hasn't been one time that my God hasn't provided for every one of my needs. Any way thank you both for doing what you do. Please know you're doing alot more than cooking on your channel. You are blessing so many of us just by being you. Love you both. It's 5:25am and i have to start getting ready for church in a couple hours. So i am gonna close. I just wanted to let you know my feelings tonight. Bye bye
I love using stale croissants for bread pudding. I will also use stale doughnuts! When using doughnuts you don't even have to add the sugar and vanilla. Both croissants and doughnuts make great pudding.
I loved how much this recipe meant to you and feel privileged that you shared it with all of us. Hard to believe that I’m 70 years old, but I never tasted bread pudding until last year when her friend made it for me and I found it so delicious. I know that seems a little strange but it’s true most people my age certainly have had bread pudding before! I’m glad you have your recipe. Thank you so much.
I have tried Bread pudding before but I don't think it was made like this. This looks delicious. Thanks so much for sharing. This is another one of your great recipes that I am going to have to try.
I love that you still have that blender!! My mom gifted me a Hamilton Beach hand mixer in 1989, that thing is still going strong and I use it weekly and even more during the holidays!! Beautiful bread pudding; exactly how my mom made it too❤️ thank you for this video!!
When I was a kid I would spend summer vacation with my cousin who lived on a farm. My aunt would make bread pudding with leftover breakfast bread that no one had eaten. I fell in love then and I'm sure this recipe will renew that love. Thanks for sharing !
I have been looking for a small bread pudding recipe! Most are made in 9 x 13 pan. I live alone & this will work well for me! I need to get the Heavy whipping cream & a couple of the spices. I will make this next weekend!❤. Thank you!
Oh, Tom, we understand those tears . We shed them right there with you. I lost my mom 11 years ago. I treasure those memories of her making so many dishes that we now use for our family. She used to make bread pudding, too. Her recipe though consisted of using piloncillo( the brown sugar cone) and cinnamon , nutmeg to make a syrup base . She would boil it till the sugar dissolved. Then in a baking pan she would put the bread cubes layered it with shredded cheese , nuts or peanuts, raisins and coconut. Then pour some syrup over it. Then repeat the layers and add more syrup. She soaked it completely then bake in my grandma's old wood burning stove. My grandma and mom call it capirotada. God bless you and Melissa . Thank you for always bringing up happy memories of your sweet mom. She raised a good son. Good bless you and your sweet family.
Oh Tom, this brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. My mother would make this for us also. Of course using any bread that was older. Almost brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you so very much for sharing. This will be made for Thanksgiving.. God Bless you both..
MY family was just talking about making a bread pudding, but needing a recipe. Thank you. I especially love how thoughtful you are towards your wife, making sure she gets the first bite & cooling it off so she does not burn her mouth. A true southern gentleman. The world needs more folks like you and your wife. Love it!
I'm glad your content found me. You always seem to share deliciousness at exactly the right time! Thank you for sharing your recipes and back stories and tips. This bread pudding looks spectacular and I think I will try the cinnamon raisin method next. Be blessed 🙏
Great recipe and really appreciate the vanilla-caramel sauce recipe. I'm not a caramel fan but it is important to have that in our repertoire. This would be great addition for a Dutch apple pie or atop cinnamon rolls. Thank you Melissa for the close ups of the side of the glass pan. seriously, give up substitute teaching and rent your services as a radiographer. Two-thirds of the channels out here need to watch and learn from you.
Good morning Tom & Melissa, this looks so delicious. Unless you mentioned 'bread' nobody will know. It is made with love and care, and baked to perfection. I am sure the caramel sauce will finish it off perfectly. Thank you for sharing a private and special recipe. Now many can make it and enjoy with their people. Many blessings, kind regards.
Gonna make this. I have read numerous recipes for bread pudding. This one looks the best. Big ol' glass of milk will be good! Thank you and blessings to you!
This brought back so man😅y memories when I was growing up. My mama always topped it with a sweet meringue. I also loved mine cold and I sometimes poured a little bit of milk and sugar over it. Never heard of caramel topping until I moved down south here in Tennessee.
My mom used to take dried bread and soak it in a little bit of milk,eggs, melted butter mixed it up added just a bit of grated onion salt and peper rolled it into little balls then rolled them into flour put it into a pot of boiling water until floated to the top .Then she wouldvsaute some butter and chopped onions add the bread balls until they browned up a bit.I loved eating it as a kid.My mom was a good cook.God rest her soul.She could make great meals out of anything handy and simple .As a family we didnt have much.But we always had something to eat! My mom was resourceful .
"Gotta" try this one for sure. Thanks, again. My desert memory is from my grandmother. It was her banana pudding that was still warm from the custard with meringue on top.
And here I was looking thru my old recipes today for a good bread pudding recipe.That's divine providence! My mama made such good bread pudding. We grew up poor and she made a lot of pudding desserts too. Corn pudding, bread and rice puddings. And I loved every one of them! Thank you. New to your posts but you have such a sweet and humble spirit about both of you and enjoy them. Subscribed w/my first video I watched.
I do the bread soak in a big bowl, let it soak, then put it in a buttered dish to bake. We should all be grateful for the memories these old dishes awaken in us.
Just saw this video today, and I have a tear in my eye too. I’m a New Yorker that lives in Florida now, my granny lived in Harrodsburg Kentucky and we used to go to her house all the time and she made the exact same thing for us. Thank you for my memory too. I think Tom and Melissa are great and I watch you guys all the time.
Hello Tom and Melissa! I love Bread Pudding ❤ So I’m definitely gonna make this 😊 Thank you for sharing your recipes with us 👏 God bless you’ens both 🙏♥️🩷
I used yo work at a hospital. Often ate in cafeteria. They used left-over homemade cinnamon rolls. Served it warm with warm homemade lemon sauce. My mon used leftover homemade biscuits. Sometimes vanilla and sometimes chocolate bread pudding.😊❤
We grew up with bread pudding, too. Dad was a meat and potatoes guy, so that's what we grew up on. I have substituted chopped peeled apples and added apple pie spice instead of using raisins as my husband doesn't like them. It's pretty good.
I made a pineapple bread pudding once just as an experiment. Everyone loved it except me. My mother was very adventurous in the kitchen. She made what I’d call semi-exotic dishes. Nothing weird. I remember one time my father sat down at the table and said, “Mary, just once can we have plain old meat and potatoes”. I love simple, but I have to tell you, my mother was a fantastic cook. She made me pickled pigs feet at home because I absolutely love them. Much better than store bought. Haven’t had them homemade since she passed away. I’m a very good cook, but an excellent baker.
I have I have wanted to try bread pudding for years, but could never find a fairly easy recipe I was so happy to view this video! I wrote this recipe down as you made it, and I was putting it together within the hour . This recipe makes a delicious bread pudding and the sauce is just to die for! Next time I think I will leave out the raisins and add a few chopped nuts instead. Also I'm thinking of adding a little bit of sweet liquor perhaps an Amaretto to the sauce at Christmas time just to give it a little bite or perhaps I will simply leave it as is because it tastes So Divine. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe I have so enjoyed this channel and subscribed as soon as I saw your first video. Keep up the good work! Watching one of your videos is like being invited over to a friend's house for coffee and an afternoon visit. Thank you again.
Just wanted to that it really touched my heart hearing you talk about your mother, as it very much made me realize how much I still miss my mom. I live in Oklahoma and just by chance found your channel and just watching you cook up all those tasty recipes. Thank You to you and your wife, God bless 🙏
How did you know i liked bread pudding, my mother used to make a burbon sauce for it of course the alcohol would burn off and all what you would taste was the burbon , i used to put a scoope of ice-cream to the side of it, what memories, thank you. Larry
Hello Tom n Melissa. I'm so glad I found your channel. No fuss, down- home recipes that are so wonderful and bring back memories of my dear Gram. I love every one of your recipes and I like how you take the time n go slow n explain everything. Most wonderful cooking channel for sure ! Thank you for posting n making us all feel like we're at your table ! Peace n blessings to you both! Please keep up the great posts ! Lorelei in Rhode Island
My mom was a waitress and she brought home the old bread and sweet rolls and put them in the freezer until we had enough for bread pudding.

Restaurants seem to use their leftover sweet rolls such as glazed donuts or cinnamon rolls in their bread pudding. I agree with you. It’s the best.
I really like your memory!
No way would I take off the crusts! I love the crusts.

Try using Great Value Brand Texas Toast at only $2.12 per loaf. A restaurant we love makes an award-winning pecan bread pudding that is addictive and they use Texas toast. To save money I use a loaf of Walmart bakery French bread. If I am making it the same day I buy the marked down loaf that expires that day. Less than a $2 for a loaf. Another award winning chocolate bread pudding that a chef used to make at a local recipe used French bread. I have that recipe
Omg. This was my mom's recipe. She passed away at 86. I miss her so much. I got teary eyed at the end of your video when you got a little choked up. But you really brought back great memories for me. Thank you. Going to make this for sure. I can't wait
9 guy? D
Tom your such a sweet heart. I just saw this bread pudding video. At the end when you got so emotional. I am 76 yrs old and i still miss my folks mor then any one can understand. I will see them again soon. So when you got emotional, you showed your self to us. My heart reacted and i got teary right along with you. Melissa your a lucky woman to have somone love you so much. I am single with one son. I also tried 2 times to have what you have. He is lucky to have you as well. Hold on to each other. With Gods love we can do all things. So thank you for showing us all who you guys really are. It means so much. 😢 💐 😊
You are so kind and we really do appreciate those sweet, sweet words. You are very encouraging and I hope you know what a gift you have for that. Your words have truly touched me tonight. We do, indeed, feel very blessed in our marriage. God was so good to us when He put us together. Thank you so much for watching our channel and accepting us for who are - certainly not professionals in any way but enjoying creating this channel together. I hope you have a wonderful upcoming holiday season. May God bless you always!
@comesitatmytable9044 I will have a great day. Both holidays will be with my son, and that will be the best. Know that I will be keeping you all in my prayers always. You be blessed as well during this holidays times.
I.made thisbone time Sir, because I am craving for Bread Pudding, so I said Hhmmm why not give this a try, and you know what aftet so many years of nit baking bread pudding, this is by far thebest bread puddingI have ever baked along with your vanilla caramel sauce it's so perfectly yummy! Iam from Manila, Philippines🙋♀🥰
A man who loves his mother makes a great husband.
Unless he loves his mother more than his wife…
Not really
I married my husband of 30yrs because he loved his mother & sister. He is respectful & caring to all 3
of us.
I agree 💯
@@nancyekstrom8409 triple thumbs up
My Mother is also 91, still lives alone. She’s in good health, but her knees are getting a bit wobbly. So thankful to still have her.
Precious memories! My grandmother would throw in some biscuits. 😢 I miss her
My grandma would use leftovers biscuits. I loved it she would put can peaches in her's and think of her every time I think of bread pudding. I am going to try making it for my grandkids.
My mom used cold biscuits in her bread pudding. Sometimes she would make a hard sauce to go with it! Mom was a great cook, as well as all my aunt's! Grandma taught them well!
Mom also made "dip" to go with hot cobbler. A cup of sweet milk, couple tablespoons of sugar & a splash of vanilla. Stir it all together until sugar is dissolved, cover & store in refrigerator. When fruit cobbler came out of oven, let it cool while you eat supper. When ready for hot cobbler, pour some dip in each dish of cobbler! Just like melted ice cream on cobbler. Guess you might call it poor man's ice cream.
No shame in having a tear due to memories of our parents, I shed them often cause they are so missed!
Your Mother would be proud!😀
Hello friends, Tom the love you have for you're Mom is sweetly conveyed through this video. She must have been a great Mom. My Mom went to heaven 3 years ago,she was a excellent cook and made our childhood special with her good cooking, kind ways and her love for Jesus. I appreciate how kind you are to Melissa giving her the first bite, that made me smile . God bless you and Melissa.
P.s. I seen some of the mean post in the comments, I am sorry people have little to no manners. Please know these videos are enjoyed by the majority.
My momma passed away almost exactly a year ago, on October 18. She loved her some bread pudding! I got teary eyed when Tom said he wished he could have his mom make bread pudding just one more time for him…I totally understand those feelings, I’d do anything to share any of the things we loved with mom again. I miss her so very much sometimes it’s all I can do to not just crumble into a heap of tears! They say time heals all wounds, clearly I’m gonna need more time. Thank you for reminding me to make the bread pudding she enjoyed so much, I know it’s very yummy stuff, and that vanilla caramel sauce is amazing on top!!
I love your videos, I feel like I know you guys lol. I love your style of cooking, very similar to what I grew up eating. I appreciate you both, and thank you for all your time and effort to put out such fantastic recipes!! ❤
Yours is the #1 cooking/baking site! I don't bother with the others anymore Thank you very much for laying it all out and giving a history to each recipe. Both you and your wife are so sweet and welcoming!
Isn't that true, they are so kind and loving, you just feel at home watching!
McColleen555,
You jit the nail on the head with what you said. I feel the same way about these two bueatifil people. I have been watching a lot of cooking channels as well. They are really almost like our real friends. Sorry to bother you, but I just had to let you know I was there with you about this. God bless you.
We grew up with bread and rice puddings. Thanks for bringing back those memories .
We did too! And in these times, since I'm retired. it's good to use up ingredients and make things that ring back memories of six of us around our table, telling stories and teaSing each other.
gOOD TIMES!!!!
❤ bread pudding yes but rice pudding I couldn’t eat it wasn’t my favorite
Hey Y'all
I made bread pudding when I lived with a pair of men on my homeless journey in 2012. They loved it as much as I loved making it.
I make it with bread from a local bakery and plan on taking some to that bakery the next time I go visit them. I impressed them with the idea of using their cinnamon bread in the recipe!
Now, I need to make the sauce and add it to the bread pudding for added indulgence.
Thank you so much for the idea. I love your channel and how homely it feels!
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹, how are you and the weather condition like today?
Speaking of memories, of course this reminds me of my Mom. She’s been gone 26 years now. She too would have been 91 this year. I was convinced she could make something out of nothing. We usually had milk & cream from a nearby farm but not always raisins. Then she would whip that farm-fresh cream just before we ate it. I miss her so much. Thank you.😀🍁🎃
My mother would be 115 if she were alive. You can figure I'm no spring chicken either. But I still love life and thank God for each day. And, oh yes, I still have wonderful dreams of my mother. I'll see her in heaven when I get there.
Y''all must have been setting around our table last night because bread pudding was our conversation. I just said to my husband and daughter I wished I had a good recipe. Now I have one. Thank you! We all know momma's have the best recipes.
Funny, my daughter was just asking me last night when I would make bread pudding again. Then this video popped up today.
I made Mt like yours but added brandy for sauce
My mom made bread pudding too. She made quite a few “depression era” foods. I stash bread pieces in the freezer till I have enough of whatever kind and make it pretty often. I also make overnight blueberry French toast casserole, which is just bread pudding with blueberries. I’m so surprised at the speed your channel has grown but it’s actually easy to see why. I’m watching it go up and I bet you reach 100k by tonight. Congrats.
I was really very close to my Nana, and after she passed, the first time I made her Health bread and took a bite, I burst into tears! Our smells and tastes are linked to memories so strongly! I can't wait to try this bread pudding, a real favorite of mine❣️❣️ Thanks, y'all, for another wonderful video from your table.
😂😂😂” make your tongue jump out and slap your brains out!” 😂You better know it! Love you two!
Yes, food does trigger memories. When we heard my grandma was coming to visit, we started saving the heels of the loaf of bread so she could make her bread pudding. I never got her recipe ( not that she really had one….she cooked a lot without recipes). This is definitely one recipe I will be making. ❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing, and I also had a little tear in my eye remembering my grandma.
Hey Tom and Melissa. Greetings from Edmonton Alberta.
I love bread pudding. I grew up on a real meat and potatoes diet as well, my mom was a Registered Nurse and worked lots of odd shifts and my dad who was a mechanic, cooked a lot of our meals and he started as a cooks helper at age 13 in a lumber camp in Ontario to help support his family when my grandfather lost his leg in 1944. He was a good solid cook and this was the kind of thing he made. I learned from him my basic cooking skills and had a good grounding. Your channel is very much like that. A good grounding in good solid home cooking. And I love the “waste not want not”approach to Tom’s cooking. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love raisins. Looks dellish
Looks delicious. Yummy yum yum yum. Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐶 companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 🐶💕👍✝️🙏🐾🐰💌💞
My Grandmother made desserts, you never knew what kind. But she had a trick. She waited until we were ready to leave and then said, Oh don’t leave yet, I have made a coconut cake and I wanted you to have some.
1. You are correct- cinnamon raisin bread makes awesome bread pudding.
2. Sounds crazy but I still love sliced bread instead of hotdog or hamburger buns 😆
3. Everytime I start baking, I miss my mom. I think the fact that it tugs at your heart means she did a great job. 🎉
I've used cranberry orange bagels that I had left over ,I don't mix my custard mix in a blender and I mix all together in big pot or bowl to make sure all mixes .u leave ti on counter ( aren't u worried of samiola ) I put it in fridge about 20 minutes I tell feel mix to see if soaked in ,than bake like your mom did .yes hot or cold sauce or not ,both good.
Thank you!! I miss my Moms cooking, and the way you put the ingredients together reminds me of the way she did things. She was a wonderful southern cook. Im 71 and she's been gone for several years, but you never forget the way our Mom done things. Yummy ❤
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹, how are you and the weather condition like today
Sometimes my mom used day old generic cinnamon rolls with the bread. Sometimes she would substitute a can of pumpkin for part of the milk. You cannot ruin bread pudding. I think I will go make some right now.
Oooo Mary
The pumpkin in there sounds delicious!
I have a crockpot recipe for bread pudding that I came across many years ago. I made it a few times back when my dad was first sick and family or company would stop by. Everyone loved it. I used cinnamon raisin bread for it.
@@kimwright6248
That sounds SO good!!
Can confirm pumpkin bread pudding is too delicious
Tom, love watching your videos and appreciate that you use ingredients that most of us have in our pantry. You do a wonderful job and explain thing very well including the prep. Keep up your good work, your former role as a teacher shines with your presentation!
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹, how are you and the weather condition like today?
I am a Bread Pudding junkie. I made your version this weekend and really loved it. I tried to find Brioche bread to make it with but resorted to using g Brioche Hamburger Buns which worked perfect. I really like the step of pouring the melted butter over the pan before baking, it added a nice complexity and crunch to the bread on top. The recipe I usually make has 1/2 cup shredded coconut and the same of chopped pecans (equally as good as your Mom’s recipe). The Vanilla Caramel Sauce was a wonderful addition and it reminds me of the sauce I make for Sticky Toffee Pudding from Scotland. The leftover sauce would be perfect over a baked apple or ice cream too. As a side interest when I lived in London it was called Bread and Butter Pudding and served with warm thin custard sauce over it (As most their “Pud’s are). I learned Golden Raisins in the UK are called Sultana’s.
I’m in my 70’s and my momma made bread pudding also, she used Evaporated milk in hers but the rest of the recipe your mom made is about the same , but momma never made a sauce to go over hers ! I still make my mommas bread pudding and now I’ll use your mommas sauce on my mommas bread pudding ! Thank you both for sharing your recipes with us!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
My mom always made vanilla sauce to go over it. No matter which one, its all good!
I'm going to try using evaporated milk next time I make it to see if I like it better that way. TY 😊
Hello Becky, I’m also in my seventies. My mom used can milk too… milk was too expensive. She used it place of milk in mostly everything. Even mashed potatoes..and I cook the way she did. Everyone loves my mashed potatoes. Although I never cared for bread pudding I will try Tom’s with his sauce.😊
@@evelynwilliams5174 it’s very good with sauce ! Yes I use evaporated milk to make whole milk momma taught us how , you just mix a can of milk with a can of water if you want 2% milk mix 2 cans if water to 1 can of milk , and I use canned milk to make mashed potatoes slso snd my potato soup , it makes a much richer soup snd potatoes slso gravy !!
My favorite French toast is made with hamburger or hot dog buns.
OMG! This is the bees knees!! Lol A super delicious dessert that even I can make and enjoy. Thank you both for sharing
Our grocery has a discounted bread rack where they sell older bread really cheap. We will use whatever they have there (donuts, croissants, rolls, etc.) to make bread pudding. It is a good dessert, but is a really good breakfast!
I just made this. In fact, I'm enjoying some as I write. I happened to have everything -- even some brioche in the freezer that needed to be used. This was SO DELICIOUS, especially with that yummy sauce. I had to gild the lily and put a dollop of whipped cream on it, too lol. I just wish I had made this for my parents when they were alive, as they loved bread pudding, and I didn't "get it." I was late to the party. I apologized to them for not even trying (I like to think they can hear me). In any case, I so appreciate you and Melissa for these yummy, homey recipes. Definitely my cup of tea! I have also tried your chicken and dressing casserole, and it was very tasty, indeed. Thanks!
Great recipe. Beautiful homage to MoM 😎
No shame in shedding a tear for your mom. You were blessed to have her. Thanks.
😊I’m 85 and love bread pudding I like using day old cinnamon rolls. I love your recipes thanks for sharing them
That looks so good. It is something from my childhood also. I also love rice pudding. If you have an Aldi store near you they usually have brioche bread and buns. Thanks Tom and Melissa 🍞💕
I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found it. I have to say this, and I hope no one comes for me, but my pet peeve with some of these videos is when the host has annoying, repetitive phrases or habits. You have NONE !!! You are so well spoken and organized and I hope that doesn’t change as your channel grows. It’s what sets you apart. Thank you, and I hope you have continued success. ❤
Awww loved this video. Bread pudding is so yummy. My mom used to make rice pudding too. Wow you guys are almost to 100k subscribers. Praise God!!
I watched this twice. My Mama LOVED bread pudding. I teared up when Tom said his mother used all types of bread. We used regular white bread for hot dogs and hamburgers. Mama was a single parent and she didn’t waste a single crumb. We were poor but very happy. My Mama could make magic with anything. The mixer reminded me of the one we had. She bought at a Church rummage sale and it sure did last a very long time. I’m a FAN & Subscriber. Thank you. Gloria
Being a girl from the hills of West Virginia, I was accustomed to eating bread pudding from many different homes and restaurants, but the best bread pudding ever was made by my mother in law, she made hers with day old biscuits, the consistency was denser and moister than others, it was divine. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming. God bless you all.
If someone is hassling you over having unclean eggs in a bowl that you then used to crack the eggs into, well,t hose people have too much time on their hands. It’s your kitchen, you cook how you,like to cook! Keep the great videos coming!!
Recipe vert similar to my mom’s. She also would add either pecans or walnuts; about 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped.
My mother always used leftover biscuits to make bread pudding. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I love love bread pudding I will make this recipe soon.
Mom used leftover biscuits and made a chocolate sauce. So good!!
Congratulations on your 100 subscribers! That bread pudding looks delicious. I never miss an episode.
Thank you so very much for honoring your mother by sharing this recipe! Regardless of our family history and socioeconomic status, many of our memories are connected to foods and meals. We used to have specific regional and cultural cuisines, but with migration, more affordable transportation, decrease in family farms ane diversity in employment, television, and social media we are enjoying foods beyond what our parents ate! Aren't we lucky to have both our family heritage foods AND such a diverse variety! I so enjoy ALL the recipes you and Melissa prepare and share! God bless you and your family and friends!
So many things I wish I had that Mom, and Dad cooked, so I understand completely... God Bless
Hello there Tom.Boy do I remember chocolate cold breadpudding.I mother had a wood stove when we were kids, and one of the breads that came out of that oven was cold breadpudding.i s
Nearly 80 years old and you brought back. Memories.Thanks
My wife and I have never tasted bread pudding before we watched your video and it looked very interesting so last night we made a batch to take to our Pastor appreciation lunch today. The bread pudding was an absolute hit. Thank you so much it was absolutely wonderful
I’m 74 and this brings back some nice memories. My cousins and I used to fight over who would get the first serving of bread pudding. Fond memories. Thanks for sharing Tom and Melissa.
Oh my, I love this. I'll be making it this week. I love your videos...you explain what you are doing very well. And your wife is very good with the camera 😊 she keeps it steady and shows close ups. 😊 I can't wait to see what's cooking for the holidays.
Memories with food are very special. Tears in your eyes are NO problem. 🥰
One day I came to work and bread pudding was on the menu. As a cook, Well, no bread was in the kitchen. I found stale donuts. Best pudding ever i made.
Tom and Melissa my mum used to use slices of bread with jam on it to make this and I always loved it ,but I would love to try this recipe .thanks guys from Australia 🇦🇺
HA !!!
My Mum did too, it must be an Aussie thing 😉
We also seldom had desserts on a regular basis, but when we did, it was either apple pie, Mom's fudge, or bread pudding with hard sauce. They were such a treat! Thank you for a great video.
OMGosh, I love bread pudding. My daughter does NOT like raisins, but, I do. I like how you sprinkle the raisins on top, I can leave them off on one side. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for another recipe from your childhood. Enjoying making your recipes . God bless
Wonderful memory thank you Tom for loving mama🥲Blessings to a real loving couple Tom& Melissa💕🙏
As a kid, I was not a fan of bread pudding at all, didn’t like squishy bread foods. As an adult, however, I love the stuff. I do still prefer to eat the outside edge because it’s less wet, but I’ve come to appreciate it for what it is and the memories iit generates.
I love bread pudding. Many years ago I worked at a hospital in the dietary department. One of our bakers used to make some of the best bread pudding. Of course, we had glazed donuts every morning I the cafeteria. We'll, Mary had several leftover glazed donuts in the refrigerator so she used them for making bread pudding. It was absolutely delicious!
I love bread pudding and have so many recipes for it. The funny thing is, all of them are delicious. But, yours is a real good one. I sell Watkins products, so I am happy to see you using their great Bakers Vanilla.
I love watching you and your wife. You bring back a lot of meals that i grow up with. Thank you
I made bread pudding recently and actually had hawaiian sliders here at the house. It was amazing!
Tom, i just love you guys so much. Every time you make something that your mom made, you get emotional, and that touches my heart so very much. I have seen you make that bread pudding so many times. I am a very emotional person as well, so it always makes me think of my folks. I sure hope you have your cookbooks still available next month. I just can't swing it now. Seems like i spend half my life waiting for my check to get posted, lol. Oh well, there hasn't been one time that my God hasn't provided for every one of my needs. Any way thank you both for doing what you do. Please know you're doing alot more than cooking on your channel. You are blessing so many of us just by being you.
Love you both. It's 5:25am and i have to start getting ready for church in a couple hours. So i am gonna close. I just wanted to let you know my feelings tonight. Bye bye
I love using stale croissants for bread pudding. I will also use stale doughnuts! When using doughnuts you don't even have to add the sugar and vanilla. Both croissants and doughnuts make great pudding.
I loved how much this recipe meant to you and feel privileged that you shared it with all of us. Hard to believe that I’m 70 years old, but I never tasted bread pudding until last year when her friend made it for me and I found it so delicious. I know that seems a little strange but it’s true most people my age certainly have had bread pudding before! I’m glad you have your recipe. Thank you so much.
I have tried Bread pudding before but I don't think it was made like this. This looks delicious. Thanks so much for sharing. This is another one of your great recipes that I am going to have to try.
I love that you still have that blender!! My mom gifted me a Hamilton Beach hand mixer in 1989, that thing is still going strong and I use it weekly and even more during the holidays!! Beautiful bread pudding; exactly how my mom made it too❤️ thank you for this video!!
Just found your channel. I have tried two recipes so far, and this will be my third! Love you easy to understand instructions.
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹, how are you and the weather condition like today?
When I was a kid I would spend summer vacation with my cousin who lived on a farm. My aunt would make bread pudding with leftover breakfast bread that no one had eaten. I fell in love then and I'm sure this recipe will renew that love. Thanks for sharing !
We hope it reconnects you to those good memories from your childhood. Thanks so much for sharing that story with us. Have a wonderful weekend.
I have been looking for a small bread pudding recipe! Most are made in 9 x 13 pan. I live alone & this will work well for me! I need to get the Heavy whipping cream & a couple of the spices. I will make this next weekend!❤. Thank you!
You are so welcome. We are delighted to have you watching our channel. Thanks so much for joining us!
Oh, Tom, we understand those tears . We shed them right there with you. I lost my mom 11 years ago. I treasure those memories of her making so many dishes that we now use for our family. She used to make bread pudding, too. Her recipe though consisted of using piloncillo( the brown sugar cone) and cinnamon , nutmeg to make a syrup base . She would boil it till the sugar dissolved. Then in a baking pan she would put the bread cubes layered it with shredded cheese , nuts or peanuts, raisins and coconut. Then pour some syrup over it. Then repeat the layers and add more syrup. She soaked it completely then bake in my grandma's old wood burning stove. My grandma and mom call it capirotada. God bless you and Melissa . Thank you for always bringing up happy memories of your sweet mom. She raised a good son. Good bless you and your sweet family.
Oh Tom, this brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. My mother would make this for us also. Of course using any bread that was older. Almost brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you so very much for sharing. This will be made for Thanksgiving.. God Bless you both..
MY family was just talking about making a bread pudding, but needing a recipe. Thank you. I especially love how thoughtful you are towards your wife, making sure she gets the first bite & cooling it off so she does not burn her mouth. A true southern gentleman. The world needs more folks like you and your wife. Love it!
I'm glad your content found me. You always seem to share deliciousness at exactly the right time! Thank you for sharing your recipes and back stories and tips. This bread pudding looks spectacular and I think I will try the cinnamon raisin method next. Be blessed 🙏
I think you probably were a great teacher. You seem so patient and show every step. I think I would have loved having you as a teacher.
Great recipe and really appreciate the vanilla-caramel sauce recipe. I'm not a caramel fan but it is important to have that in our repertoire. This would be great addition for a Dutch apple pie or atop cinnamon rolls. Thank you Melissa for the close ups of the side of the glass pan. seriously, give up substitute teaching and rent your services as a radiographer. Two-thirds of the channels out here need to watch and learn from you.
Good morning Tom & Melissa, this looks so delicious. Unless you mentioned 'bread' nobody will know. It is made with love and care, and baked to perfection. I am sure the caramel sauce will finish it off perfectly. Thank you for sharing a private and special recipe. Now many can make it and enjoy with their people. Many blessings, kind regards.
Gonna make this. I have read numerous recipes for bread pudding. This one looks the best. Big ol' glass of milk will be good! Thank you and blessings to you!
Hello from San Juan, Puerto Rico! Thank you so much for sharing your mom's bread pudding recipe. I will definitely try it out.
Thank you for sharing this precious recipe with us. I cannot wait to make it myself.
God bless you always
This brought back so man😅y memories when I was growing up. My mama always topped it with a sweet meringue. I also loved mine cold and I sometimes poured a little bit of milk and sugar over it. Never heard of caramel topping until I moved down south here in Tennessee.
I can almost taste it! Thank you.
My mom used to take dried bread and soak it in a little bit of milk,eggs, melted butter mixed it up added just a bit of grated onion salt and peper rolled it into little balls then rolled them into flour put it into a pot of boiling water until floated to the top .Then she wouldvsaute some butter and chopped onions add the bread balls until they browned up a bit.I loved eating it as a kid.My mom was a good cook.God rest her soul.She could make great meals out of anything handy and simple .As a family we didnt have much.But we always had something to eat! My mom was resourceful .
I love bread pudding!!!
"Gotta" try this one for sure. Thanks, again. My desert memory is from my grandmother. It was her banana pudding that was still warm from the custard with meringue on top.
Another great looking recipe! Will have to give it a try. Just made a pot of your taco soup this afternoon! We just love it.
And here I was looking thru my old recipes today for a good bread pudding recipe.That's divine providence! My mama made such good bread pudding. We grew up poor and she made a lot of pudding desserts too. Corn pudding, bread and rice puddings. And I loved every one of them! Thank you. New to your posts but you have such a sweet and humble spirit about both of you and enjoy them. Subscribed w/my first video I watched.
I do the bread soak in a big bowl, let it soak, then put it in a buttered dish to bake. We should all be grateful for the memories these old dishes awaken in us.
Just saw this video today, and I have a tear in my eye too. I’m a New Yorker that lives in Florida now, my granny lived in Harrodsburg Kentucky and we used to go to her house all the time and she made the exact same thing for us. Thank you for my memory too. I think Tom and Melissa are great and I watch you guys all the time.
Wow. You and Melissa continue to impress me with your fantastic recipes and I am grateful to you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Look's so delicious mmmh 😋
Thank you for the nice Video 👍.
Blessings from Germany 🙏 😋
Hello Tom and Melissa! I love Bread Pudding ❤ So I’m definitely gonna make this 😊 Thank you for sharing your recipes with us 👏 God bless you’ens both 🙏♥️🩷
I used yo work at a hospital. Often ate in cafeteria. They used left-over homemade cinnamon rolls. Served it warm with warm homemade lemon sauce. My mon used leftover homemade biscuits. Sometimes vanilla and sometimes chocolate bread pudding.😊❤
Love your video set-up with the ingredients and instructions so so helpful!!!❤
This is same as my Dad's recipe, except he used dark raisins. He was such a good cook.
We grew up with bread pudding, too. Dad was a meat and potatoes guy, so that's what we grew up on. I have substituted chopped peeled apples and added apple pie spice instead of using raisins as my husband doesn't like them. It's pretty good.
Apples would be great. Galas and Granny Smiths should not disappoint!
I made a pineapple bread pudding once just as an experiment. Everyone loved it except me. My mother was very adventurous in the kitchen. She made what I’d call semi-exotic dishes. Nothing weird. I remember one time my father sat down at the table and said, “Mary, just once can we have plain old meat and potatoes”. I love simple, but I have to tell you, my mother was a fantastic cook. She made me pickled pigs feet at home because I absolutely love them. Much better than store bought. Haven’t had them homemade since she passed away. I’m a very good cook, but an excellent baker.
I have I have wanted to try bread pudding for years, but could never find a fairly easy recipe I was so happy to view this video! I wrote this recipe down as you made it, and I was putting it together within the hour . This recipe makes a delicious bread pudding and the sauce is just to die for! Next time I think I will leave out the raisins and add a few chopped nuts instead. Also I'm thinking of adding a little bit of sweet liquor perhaps an Amaretto to the sauce at Christmas time just to give it a little bite or perhaps I will simply leave it as is because it tastes So Divine. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe I have so enjoyed this channel and subscribed as soon as I saw your first video. Keep up the good work! Watching one of your videos is like being invited over to a friend's house for coffee and an afternoon visit. Thank you again.
Just wanted to that it really touched my heart hearing you talk about your mother, as it very much made me realize how much I still miss my mom. I live in Oklahoma and just by chance found your channel and just watching you cook up all those tasty recipes. Thank You to you and your wife, God bless 🙏
How did you know i liked bread pudding, my mother used to make a burbon sauce for it of course the alcohol would burn off and all what you would taste was the burbon , i used to put a scoope of ice-cream to the side of it, what memories, thank you. Larry
Tom I love a man who loves his mama....I am sure you made her proud...Melissa has good taste...in food and picking you..God's Blessings...
Love bread pudding! ❤ From the heart is the best cooking.
Growing up we kids called it Daddy's Bread . My dad must have loved it .
I once used Pannetone bread in bread pudding. It was delicious!
