Bread Pudding
I bake my own poppy seed egg bread just to make this pudding but you can certainly use a store-bought loaf. Since bread cubes are hard to measure, I use a kitchen scale to get the exact weight. This pudding is so good, it doesn't need any topping. - Jenny Jones

Please, use/give metric system measurements. I don”t use oz, cups…
At least I could google oz but there a myriad types of cups. Not to mention how wrong is to measure solids with volumetric measures.
The whole world except US uses the metric system.
The best I can do is the metric conversion chart I put together in my blog: https://www.jennycancook.com/category/a-metric-conversion-chart/
Thank goodness for that – no metric for good old US of A !!!
I actually learned both ways of measuring in elementary school. I hope you realize that not all Americans are how to say sheltered.
Most measuring CUPS now days have both Metric and Ounces & Cups… Scales have the same ability… Cheers
Can I add Raisins and/or Nuts? Thank You, Love Your Recipes 🙂
Yes, definitely.
Can I use wheat bread?
I would not suggest whole wheat bread for bread pudding. It needs a soft bread.
What’s egg bread Jenny?
Sorry…

Challah bread There is a white (water) loaf
and there is a yellow (egg) this is the one you want.
Costco sells them by two, not sure if that is the egg one.
You can go to a Jewish bakery, you will have to check
the days they make it.

6oz egg bread???
Yes.
Add some sweet potato or pumpkin…it’s awesome!
I will try this with the egg bread I will be getting from the Christmas Bake sale at my Greek Orthodox church. You probably know the Greek bread I am talking about. Bread pudding is the first thing I learned to bake when I was only five years old and we had a wood stove. I can eat the whole thing in one day. Not super healthy , but I only make it once or twice a year. True comfort food.
