"Bread Pudding is a famous dessert in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This version is from dickiebrennanssteakhousedotcom. I haven't made this before and it sure sounds like a lot of bread to fit into that size pan - but they're famous for it so I'm guessing that it works. :)"

Combine remaining pudding ingredients in a large container and blend well with a hand mixer.

Thinly slice dried French bread and place in an 8 x 10 x 2-inch pan.

Cover pan with foil and bake at 300F for 2 ½ hours, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the pudding comes out dry.
