Ingredients
  

  • 8 eggs beaten
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup sugar or equivalent sugar substitute
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, optional
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 cups stale bread, torn into 1" pieces about 10 slices
  • 1 cup raisins, optional, or other dried fruits or nuts

Instructions
 

  • Grease a 9 x 13" pan with butter, margarine, or oil. Preheat oven to 325 Fahrenheit.
  • Place bread pieces, raisins, or other dried fruits and nuts in the pan and set aside.
  • Add eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk together. Pour mixture over bread pieces.
  • Place pan in a preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Bread pudding is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean but moist. Cool the pudding for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Refrigerate leftovers and use them within 3 or 4 days for the best flavor.   I made this and it was pretty good - I will make another stab at it - to put my "personal" touches in it.

Day 7 - Amish Friendship Bread - Do nothing
