Chocolate Bread Pudding
Butter for baking dish
4 C. bread, in slices or large cubes
4 C. milk, whole or lowfat
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3/4 C. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 t. salt
1 t. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a baking dish. (The larger the dish, the
crisper the bread. An eight-inch square baking dish results in a crisp
top and a soft bottom.
If you like your pudding soft, place the bread in a mixing bowl, pour
the milk over, and soak for 30 minutes. Otherwise, skip this step.
Combine the milk and chocolate in a double boiler. Cook over low heat
until chocolate has melted. (If you've presoaked the bread, pour off
the milk in order to warm it.) Whisk the sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt
into the melted chocolate and milk.
Arrange the bread in a baking dish, overlapping the slices. Pour the
milk mixture over the bread. Let stand for a minute or two. Bake for
one hour.
Makes 8 servings.
