Delicious!!! I made it tonight and my house smelled sooo good! It smelled like "harvest" ! Anyway, I did change it a bit. Here's what I did to it... 1. I used more bread (bc I had a loaf that was dated and I hate throwing food away) 2. I used the same amount of milk (maybe 2.5 cups to 3), but instead of the sugar, I added approx. 3/4 c.-1 c. of condensed milk (sweetened). 3. I used 1 can of "pumpkin pie mix" (the one that comes ready) 4. I also used a box of pumpkin spice jello pudding; on top of all of this, I added more cinnamon 5. Instead of "greasing" my pan--I made a caramel base coat (my mom taught me this...on a metal pan that is NOT nonstick...I put a bit of sugar and a tiny bit of water...I set it on the stove until it turns to caramel and then I just move the pan around until it is well-coated; great smell and flavor from this!). 6. I only had 3 eggs left so that's what I used and to be safe and avoid sogginess, I added 3 tbsp of flour to my mixture. 7. Same baking time and temperature as your recipe. It came out beautifully! I loved it! Tasty and perfect for fall! ^^! I’m so glad I encountered your recipe! I wanted to make something with pumpkin and with my bread that I had….so here it is!!! Thanks for the grand idea!

This was a really excellent bread pudding recipe. I used egg whites instead of egg sub., and whole wheat raisin bread (omitting the raisins). I also used 3/4 brown sugar (demarara) and 1/4 splenda. This was not super sweet but instead custardy and spicy and we loved it. My only issue with the recipe, and the reason that it is only getting 4 stars, is the cook time. With 25 minutes still on the timer I happened to walk by the oven and check. Mine was completely done. Had I left it to cook 25 more minutes I don't think I would have had something nearly so good! But another winner, Paula. Thanks so much!
