Cooking web notes

Here in our household none of us like the crust from bread, not sure why...but none of us eat the crust! So...over the years I have learned to freeze the crusts from bread along with any breads or rolls that are starting to get stale. One recipe I like to make that uses up all of my frozen bread stash is homemade bread pudding. When I make bread pudding, this is the recipe I like to use because it's quick and easy.

Classic Bread Pudding Recipe

3 cups of bread cubes
4 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup of raisins

In a large bowl combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Mix by hand until blended. Stir in raisins. Place bread cubes in a 3 quart casserole baking dish. Pour egg mixture over the bread cubes and stir until they are coated with the mixture. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. You can serve warm or cold. Refrigerate left-overs.
