BREAD PUDDING THANKSGIVING
Good for a Thanksgiving or other holiday dessert, and also delicious as a morning breakfast. If you cannot find ciabatta bread, como, pugliese, or other European bread with holes in the dough work well. You may use any type of chopped walnut. I cook it at 350-375 for about an hour...really, when it is golden on top and squishy on the inside, yet the knife comes out clean (moist maybe, but clean) when you poke it. I know....not so technical! Also the ingredients are what I think they are, as this is one of those this-and-that recipes. I experimented with less cinnamon, more orange zest, and a splash of scotch into the liquid....it was quite a tasty variation.

Steps:
- Grease 9x9 pan with butter and preheat oven to 350 f.
- Mix in a mixer or beat thoroughly : milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt to form thin custard.
- Add and mix by hand the remaining ingredients (cube or tear the bread first) into the liquid custard.
- (I always eyeball this part, mixing the wet and dry -- usually I add the dry ingredients to a bowl, then pour the liquid until it covers a little more than half with liquid- enough that if you press down, the top parts get moist but not wet.).
- Press lightly to encourage bread to absorb custard. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 6 hours, depending on how stale the bread is.
- Pour into lightly buttered/greased 9x9 pan.
- Bake in oven for 1/2 - 1 hour or until golden brown on top but of bread pudding consistency inside.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Lightly grease a 10-inch (25 cm) square baking dish.
- Preheat a 6-quart (5.7 L) pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion powder, sage, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and several dashes of pepper and turn off the heat.
- Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, mixing well after each addition. The bread should be moist but not soggy, so you may not need to add all the broth.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, crusty bread, rich milk, and creamy butter are essential.
- Don't oversoak the bread. It should be slightly moist but not soggy.
- Use a variety of spices and flavorings to create a unique bread pudding. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, raisins, or dried cranberries.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. This will also help it cook evenly.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
