\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My husband’s mother and sister have always had a reputation for baking the absolutely lightest and best yeast rolls you have ever put into your mouth. They are so good that some of the grandchildren pretty much\u00a0 make a meal off just the rolls. Since I really don’t need the temptation, I have just enjoyed eating theirs at special family meals rather than bake them myself. My mother-in-law passed away in January and we haven’t had as many family meals as she was the center of the family. So having the same recipe, I decided awhile back to try baking some myself.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what I did wrong but my rolls did not even resemble the rolls I was trying to duplicate. They tasted fine but were very heavy. I used bread flour so that might have been the problem or maybe I just added too much flour. Whatever I did wrong, I had a pile of rolls that needed salvaging so I decided that bread pudding might just do the trick. Fortunately, the not-so-good rolls turned into a fabulous dessert.<\/p><\/div>\n

BREAD PUDDING<\/h3>\n

2 cups granulated sugar
\n5 large beaten eggs
\n2 cups milk
\n1\/4 cup (1\/2 stick) butter, softened
\n2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
\n3 cups cubed Italian bread, allow to stale overnight in a bowl<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan.<\/p>\n

Mix together granulated sugar, eggs, butter, and milk in a bowl; add vanilla. Pour over cubed bread and let sit for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Pour bread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven.<\/p>\n

CARAMEL SAUCE<\/h3>\n

1 c. corn syrup
\n1 c. brown sugar
\n1\/2 c. milk
\n1\/4 c. flour
\n1\/4 tsp. salt
\n1\/4 c. butter<\/p>\n

Combine ingredients except butter. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Add butter and stir until blended. Pour over cooked bread pudding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
