Banana Bread Pudding

Bread puddings are very easy to make and a great way to use up leftover bread or croissants. You can flavor them any way that you like. The key to a good bread pudding to my mind is to let the bread soak in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. When we made them at the restaurant, wed let them soak overnight in the refrigerator before baking them in the morning. This insured a moist, custardy pudding.
