Rhonda's Amazing Bread Pudding

After trying so many bread pudding recipes I have finally

created my own.  So far this is my favorite.  King's Hawaiian Rolls

makes this pudding so creamy and delicious. 

The portion size is great if you have company but I will cut the recipe in half when I make it just for the family. 

 

Ingredients

16 Hawaiian rolls                            

8 eggs                                              

1/2  cups  brown sugar  
1 cup granulated sugar                            

2  cups heavy cream    
1 cup milk                

2 tablespoons vanilla extract          

1/8 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon cinnamon     
***I put 2 tablespoons of vanilla because I love it...if you don't love vanilla so much only put 1 tablespoon.  

Preparation

1. Slice rolls in half lengthwise; tear the bottom half of roll into pieces.
2. Layer rolls pieces evenly in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish, baking bowl or a cast iron pan. Place roll tops, crust sides up, over mixture. 
3. Beat together eggs and sugar. Beat in cream, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Slowly pour mixture over croissant tops; press bread to absorb liquid. Cover; chill 2 hours. 
4.  Put baking dish in a bigger dish ( I usually use Jelly Roll pan) Fill jelly roll pan with water.

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until set. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake 30 more minutes.  Serve warm .

I am so excited, my amazing bread pudding was featured in the food category on "Have a Daily Cup of Mrs Olson" blog.  This is my first feature for my own recipe! Check it out!
