Just made this recipe wit one change. Wegmans Grocery has a wonderful Chocolate Cherry Bread and we used that instead of the Italian. OMG it was sooooo good. Tasted it before we made the sauce and it is really moist and the flavor is great. Very easy to make. Didn't have 24 hrs so I cubed and put on a cookie sheet in a 200 degree oven for about 45-50 min. t dry the bread. I highly recommend this.

I made this recipe because I wanted a change in my holiday desserts and it was a awesome hit with my family. I did make a couple of changes based on the reviews I had read like cutting sugar to 1 cup and I cut out the brown sugar completly. for the sauce I used rum instead of brandy and with those little changes made it was a big hit Christmas Day...

I made this recipe as written, and as I was making it, I thought, "This seems like a LOT of sugar." I was right, and the bread pudding was horribly, inedibly sweet. Either avoid this recipe, or follow other reviewers' instructions for cutting the sugar way, WAY, down.

I trusted this recipe because it's Paula Deen's. I love her cooking but this recipe calls for way too much sugar and butter. I made the recipe as it's listed and It's way too sweet. Trust me, your teeth will start hurting after you make and eat this recipe as listed. 3 cups of sugar total (in which i only used 3/4 cup for the sauce instead of the 1 cup it calls for is way too much. I liked the simplicity of this recipe, but if I ever make it again, I won't use as much butter and sugar. Overall, good recipe, but needs much tweaking.

I just made this bread pudding. Per other reviewers, I cut out the sugar by A LOT. I only used 1/2 cup instead of the 2 cups. I also used 5 cups instead of 3 cups of bread. I used almond milk instead of regular milk for a healthier alternative. I sprinkled about 1 tsp of cinnamon on top. I added apples and raisins. I omitted the "sauce" altogether. Overall, I know I made a lot of modifications, but this turned out fantastic! I only gave it 4 stars because I know if I had made it exactly as written it would have been EXTREMELY sweet.

I make this recipe every holiday season with a few modifications: I use almost a whole loaf of Hawaiian Sweet Bread and half a loaf of Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon bread (way more than 3 cups of bread I cut the sugar down to just over 1 cup and I add a tsp of cinnamon to the wet mixture. I make the brown sugar crumble topping, but never the sauce and it's absolutely delicious. It's been a major hit at every party I've taken it to.

I like this recipe so much because there's so much room to play around with it, enjoy!!

I've tried to make this recipe 3 times, modifying each time. It calls for too much egg, sugar and way too much butter (I cut it by 1/3 and even then it's too much. Even after the modifications it still came out runny and greasy with a very bland flavor. Usually when I don't like a recipe I can modify it so that it works for my family. But this time I have to find a new one. Very disappointed.

As I began to put this all together I realized how increasingly difficult a task to complete. I had to throw out the egg, bread, sugar and vanilla part because it became a sticky mess. The recipe was quite confusing. Asks for 2 and some cups of granulated sugar then in the recipe for the topping, asks for another cup. I thought perhaps I simply subtract topping amount(s from ingredients list. To no avail. Also asking for 2 tsp of vanilla extract but in both ingredients and topping lists. Instructions for putting it all together, a confusing mess.
Seemed like a lot of sugar as well, especially as I was already staring at a bread mix which already had 2 cups in it.
I selected this because I noticed all the high stars in the reviews here. Nearly every person who gave high marks also changed the ingredients.
I won't make this again.

OOmg !!!! Sublime ! But i did make modifications ..I used cream instead of milk and sugared to taste (approx 1/2 cup ..i did add the brown sugar mixture on top which took it to another level of delicious !!! also topped it with a dab of caramel and vanilla ice cream before serving .. Def not your everyday desert ..
