Fresh Baked Bread

I have two loaves of brown bread rising in the pans. It will be a long time before it is ready but it will sure be good when it is done. Hot bread, butter and raspberry jam is a big favorite of ours. I don't think there are too many things that smell better than freshly baking bread.

Cinnamon rolls would probably be my next favorite. Cinnamon anything smells up the house so good. I have a wonderful recipe for bread pudding that smells so good when it is baking. It has cinnamon in it too. My husband's family always ate it hot with cream and a little sugar sprinkled on it. We use half and half and warm the leftovers a bit the next day in the microwave and it is just as good as when it came out of the oven. I save up the heels of the bread until I have enough for a batch. It is so good.

Do you Like Bread Pudding

Do you like bread pudding? If you do, I have a wonderful old Betty Crocker recipe that makes the best bread pudding ever. It has been a family favorite of my husbands for years. There is nothing quite like the wonderful smell throughout the house of the bread pudding baking in the oven. It's the cinnamon in it that does it. You can hardly wait to get it out of the oven, pour some half and half over it, sprinkle on a little sugar and devour it. It keeps in the refrigerator for a long time, but it doesn't last over 2 days at our house. You can warm it in the microwave and it's as good as the day you baked it.
