Bread Pudding is a favorite old fashioned dessert that seems to be making a comeback lately. It's easy to make and you no doubt have all the ingredients on hand. It's delicious when served warm or cold and with or without sauce. Here is a recipe for bread pudding along with two sauce recipes.
Bread Pudding

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease (with butter) a one quart casserole dish. Place the bread cubes in the casserole. In a small bowl combine all the remaining ingredients and beat well. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Place the casserole dish in a baking pan filled with about one inch of hot water.
