Well, I made it. I mean, I had to. I had homemade brioche (Tartine’s recipe) sitting in the freezer begging to be used. I also went to 3 different stores before I found the apple butter called for in the recipe. So even though it was Sunday and I didn’t have anyone to feed it to (I’m not a fan of bread pudding) I went ahead and made a half recipe.
I brought it into work on Monday, where it was a big success. People enjoyed it because it wasn’t overly sweet, even with the caramelized apples.
Thanks to Elizabeth of Cake or Death for hosting this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie If you would like the recipe, visit her blog or buy Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking…From My Home to Yours . (Can’t do links b/c I’m writing this using my iPhone and I don’t know how.)

It looks perfectly puffy and light. YUM!
Yours did rise nicely! I wasn’t a huge fan. I wish I’d added chocolate.
I used sourdough.
Yours looks wonderful.
It looks lovely and puffed! Brioche sounds like the perfect bread to use.

Ciao Wendy ! I love your ‘pan’ it’s beautiful as your pudding !!!

Looks great. I love your dish.
Bread pudding is not my thang either. I made it work!
Lovely bread pudding, Wendy! I went to 2 stores for the apple butter, also on Sunday. When will I learn?
Ooh, I bet it was good with brioche!
WOw does that look great. It would be perfect on a day like today in Idaho..cold and rainy!
Sounds and looks delish Wendy.
I’m not a bread pudding fan either but I made it too. I gave it to Shane’s dad but haven’t heard any reviews yet. Yours looks great!
Do you own Tartine? I’ve been considering buying it forever…
Mmmmm, homemade brioche! Your BP looks so delicious! Glad your co-workers enjoyed it! You must be very popular in your office!! 🙂
Hi
Unfortunately I have some sad news about Rosie from Baking Cakes Galore, Rosie passed away yesterday. I have written up a tribute to her on my blog and I am asking everyone who knew her if they would please take some time to leave a comment. I will be printing off all the comments to pass onto her husband.
Thanks

Brioche would have been perfect for this. Nice and rich. Good for you to make even tho’ you don’t like. It looks just perfect.
Wow, this bread pudding sounds and looks delicious…yummie!
I would have gladly assisted in eating that bread pudding. I love, love, love bread pudding. This one sounds heavenly and I’m not usually one for warm mushy fruits in my desserts.
