The Bread Pudding Ratio

I 'discovered' (in my freezer) a small loaf of bread someone from Japan gave us.  Well, we don't eat white bread anymore so I thought I would turn it into bread pudding with oatmeal and flax seeds. Everyone loves my bread pudding and when I tell them that it is so easy they don't believe me.  All you have to remember is the ratio of eggs to liquid.  I always use 1/2 cup liquid to each egg.  Sometimes I use cream and water for the liquid but this time I used coconut milk and almond milk.  After cutting up the bread and mixing in the extras (chocolate pieces, chopped dried fruit, flax seeds, multi-grain oatmeal, etc.), I added in the liquid that had been flavored with vanilla, nutmeg, and Splenda/coconut sugar.  I don't use all white sugar for health reasons.
This somewhat healthy bread pudding turned out delicious.  I wish I had baked it in a smaller pan so it would have been thicker, but this way there are more pieces.  If you want this recipe, just ask and I will write it out for you, but really all you need to know is the ratio.  I love eating my favorite baked goods on vintage plates with vintage utensils because it makes everything more elegant and special.  Whether from a garage sale, antique store or online, there are treasures everywhere just waiting for you to find them.  Any other vintage treasure hunters out there?

Mmmm...yummy! Thanks for the tip on the eggs and liquid ratio. I'll have to remember that! Sometimes mines turns out dry, and I wondered why. I'll have to recheck my recipes to check the ratio. How long do you recommend for sitting time to allow the bread to absorb the liquid? I'd love a copy of your recipe...mahalo plenty!

Oh looks yummy! Nice and moist. Adding it to the vintage plates and using those utensils brings it back to the Victorian era. Now all you need is a cup of good tea. :) Thanks for sharing!
