I made this for the first time for my Christmas Day brunch. It was a five star hit. The only thing I did different from the original recipe is instead of French or Italian bread I used cinnamon bread and raisin bread. I used a little over a half loaf of each and cut the cinnamon in the recipe in half to compensate for the cinnamon in the bread. The sauce also turned out great. When put on the pudding it was a wonderful treat. I definitely will make this one again.

Great recipe! Listened to some reviews below, and made my own modifications as well. I cut the sugar in half and didn't add molasses, and it turned out just fine. The sauce itself is so sweet, that it balances out the pudding perfectly when made with less sugar. Also, next time would even add a little less butter, I felt like some of the bread pieces were soaking in grease and almost "fried" tasting on the top, almost like the extra butter just bubbled to the surface. Although, it made those pieces extra crunchy and delicious! Other bread pudding recipes I've looked at do not use as much butter though. Also, I subbed dark dum for bourbon.. even better : It was a huge hit with my family!

I made a half batch last night for me & my husband (which there was still a LOT. this was my first attempt at bread pudding & despite a major mishap getting it out of the pan of water, it turned out pretty good. The rum sauce took longer to thicken up than I expected (it took about 45 min. I will be making again. Only thing I changed was I left out the lemon zest b/c I forgot to get a lemon

Always looking for ways to use up leftover French bread and this was the perfect answer. I had just about 3/4 of a large loaf that I cut up into cubes and let sit in a ziplock bag for two days. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding chopped walnuts which made it even better. Leaving the crusts on the bread gives that nice crunch on top that I love and couldn't help picking on all the crunchy tops when it came out of the oven. I also didn't have dark rum so used light rum and thought it was fine. The only thing I was unsure of from reading the recipe was how long to cook the sauce, I wound up whisking for about 20 minutes until I got the consistency that looked right which was a bit of work. It was a little bit sweet as others have said, but still great. This bread pudding is excellent and will be my go-to recipe from now on.

I followed the recipe and based on the reviews of it being too sweat omitted 1 cup of sugar. My dish did not turn out well. I think I used too much bread, it was dry and hard on top and moist on the bottom. While I coated all the bread and even folded bread over to ensure all pieces were wet..ummm bomb. A friend after the fact said the bread should be completely covered in the mixture....ummm I didn't get that from the reviews or the recipe. Is this an unstated fact? Anyway, I manage to scoop from the bottom to get the moist pieces. I made the sauce (the sugar clumped a little and served it. People said it was good and it was, the sauce put it over the top. The rest of pans (I made two batches had to be tossed in the garbage. oh an the french bread tasted like french bread, if you know what I mean. I would use another type or italian. So it maybe good but, I am giving it one star because it didn't work for me. Blame it on the cook.

Works great with out the molasses and for the rum sauce use half brown sugar and regular sugar because I found the sauce way to sweet and this mix is the best.

I made this the night before and put it in the refrigerator until the next day. I also used Fat Free Coffee Creamer in lieu of evaporated milk/heavy cream and it worked just fine! THIS WAS SO RICH A LITTLE PORTION GOES A LONG WAY! :

My bread pudding came out delicious! I didn't have lemon zest or heavy cream so I couldn't add either. I did use condensed milk in place of the heavy cream and omitted the cup of white sugar. It could not be any more yummy!
