“My family LOVES bread pudding, and this recipe is one that I have fine tuned to their taste. I have to double this recipe, and bake it in a 9×13 inch pan for my family! It’s great for breakfast or dessert and is delicious with milk poured on top! Enjoy!”

No initial rise has happened to me before with this recipe, and I have found that it very often is the yeast. I also use a candy thermometer or a meat thermometer to be precise about the milk temp.

I added the chocolate chunks…just for another layer of chocolate and another dimension of texture to the cake. YUM.
I baked this in a plain tube pan (because I didn’t have a nice bundt pan yet)…next time I definitely would make it in the fancy bundt pan…if for asthetic reasons only.
