Gluten-Free Bread Pudding
I grew up in a large family...and Bread Pudding was nearly a weekly staple. In those days raising six kids meant buying day old bread from the bakery. And buying day old bread meant ending up with lots of bits n pieces of dried breads of all sorts. My mom could work magic with those stale bits n pieces making the best Bread Pudding with raisins or dried fruit. And my dad loved his warm from the oven with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup on top.
So when I was told I would never be able to eat bread again...oh, how I mourned for my mom's Bread Pudding. My mom never really had a recipe...so in a way I never will be able to enjoy her Bread Pudding again. But I have discovered Rudi's Gluten-Free Bread...and Paula Deen :-) And I have to add that I really don't like the ends or heel's (as we called them) of any bread. So I store the first and last slice of every loaf in the freezer until I have a bag full. Then I pull out Paula Deen's Bread Pudding recipe and get prepared for a trip back to childhood. She actually has about eight different recipes...and if you know Paula's recipes at all none of them are particularly healthy...but they certain do taste amazing!!
