Recipe: Famous Dave's Bread Pudding

I found this on the net, seems to be from a book by Sue Zelickson. I hope it is what you are looking for.

FAMOUS DAVE'S BREAD PUDDING

Unsalted butter, softened
1 (1 1/2 pound) loaf cinnamon egg bread
2/3 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup vanilla extract
8 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Coat the bottom and side of a 2-inch deep baking dish heavily with butter.

Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces. Mix with the raisins in a bowl. Spread the bread mixture evenly in the prepared dish, turning crust side down as this tends to burn easily.

Whisk the sugar, milk, 2 cups whipping cream, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon in a bowl until blended. Pour over the bread mixture.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Place the baking dish in a 4-inch deep baking pan. Add water to reach halfway up side of the baking dish.

Bake for 1 hour. Remove from water bath. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Serve while still warm. Spoon into dessert bowls. Drizzle each serving with warm Ol' Southern Plantation Praline Sauce. Top with whipped cream and add a scoop of ice cream if desired.
