Chocolate Bread Pudding
Butter for baking dish 4 cup bread, in slices or large cubes
4 cup milk, whole or lowfat 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten
4/4 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a baking dish. (The larger the
dish, the crisper the bread. An eight-inch square baking
dish results in a crisp top and a soft bottom. If you like
your pudding soft, place the bread in a mixing bowl, pour
the milk over, and soak for 30 minutes. Otherwise, skip this
step. Combine the milk and chocolate in a double boiler.
Cook over low heat until chocolate has melted. (If you've
presoaked the bread, pour off the milk in order to warm it.)
Whisk the sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt into the melted
chocolate and milk. Arrange the bread in a baking dish,
overlapping the slices. Pour the milk mixture over the
bread. Let stand for a minute or two. Bake for one hour.
Makes 8 servings.
