Fruity Bread Pudding for Two image

This is a great way to use up leftover bread. I like this made with challah but you could also make it with French or Italian bread. Use whatever dried fruit you have on hand - my personal favourite is apricots, but it is also good with cranberries or cherries. Please note that the standing time is included in the cooking time.
