This is what i use and it works well
Its from Louise Hagler's Farm Vegetarian Cookbook, from the farm in Summertown Tenn.
Bread Pudding serves 4-6 (sweet stuff)
Mix together well:
4 cups of old bread 3 1/2 cup (soja) milk
2/3 cup sugar
3/2 tsp salt 1 Tbsp vanilla 1 tsp cinnamon
4/4 cup margarine
Break break into bite size pieces in a square baking pan. Mix milk, sugar, salt, vanilla and
cinnamon together well. Pour over bread Dot the top with margarine. Bake for 20 minutes at 350
degrees. Thats it. Easy.
My own additions: In my experience, you can be liberal with the vanilla and cinnamon. And add other
ingredients like raisins or other sweet spices (nutmeg, etc) f you wish. If you have more bread or
more milk to use up, use it. This cafe near me, Pcwave, used to microwave vanilla ice cream over
theirs and mix white chocolate (I think) into it. The above cookbook uses sojamilk and margarine, if
you don't have (or like) these you could use another milk, and/or butter or olive oil, I imagine. I
would love to try this with coconut milk sometime. IÕve tended to do this recipe the few times I've
had a nearly full jug of sojamilk that's gone sour and started to turn to cheese. And that made the
most delicious bread pudding, believe it or not. As far as judging cooking time, if you have had
bread pudding before, then you'll know when its ready, if you have not, the liquid should be cooked
into the bread and not soupy. If there's too much liquid, give it more time.
