Hot. sweet and bubbling!

My version of bread pudding.......

Had some extra dinner rolls that had gone a bit stale, and wanted some comfort food, so whipped up a batch of my very favorite dessert.

Stale bread, sugar, half-and-half, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and a dash of salt makes for a great treat, warm or cold. I stirred in some dried cranberries and chopped dates, then topped the dish with a crumble of butter and brown sugar. Can never resist a bite or two when it's hot from the oven, but will have a more generous serving with vanilla ice cream this evening after supper.
