I can imagine the inviting smells this would produce in the kitchen as it's cooking. This is a great addition to my file of bread pudding recipes, and I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I'm wondering if some cinnamon raisin bagels might be a substitute for the raisin bread, since my wife and I have had great success with bread puddings made with bagels from Panera.
