Dorie's 4 Star Chocolate Bread Pudding was chosen by Lauren, of Upper East Side Chronicle. You can get the recipe from her blog or from Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours cookbook.
I couldn't just make the recipe as it says though. I always have to make my own version of it. So, this time, I halved the recipe so I wouldn't eat it all to start with. I used whole wheat bread! Probably a major "no-no" for bread pudding, but it was "healthier" and still amazing. I used dark chocolate instead of bittersweet and I added caramel bits (those aren't nuts) to the pudding right after it came out of the oven. After I took it out of the oven, I went and ran a few miles because I could feel myself expanding just looking at it. Let me just tell you, the one bite I had when I got back was worth every drop of sweat, every sharp pain from my shin splints, and every mosquito bite I got. As if I could only keep to one bite! Absolutely rich and delicious bread pudding!
Another great recipe from Dorie!

So glad you liked it! I thought it was delicious too! Those caramel bits sound so yummy.
I thought those were peanuts on the top. But caramel is great too!
A very good recipe and worth making again.
Hmmmmm - caramel bits. I usually would never try to make bread pudding healthier but this looks and sounds really good. I will have to try for myself.
This looks wonderful!!
Bravo!
Nice to meet you!

Mmm, I need to go run a few miles after looking at your pictures :) Your bread pudding looks totally fabulous. And those caramel bits look AWESOME. So glad you ended up making this one!
It looks great! I'm glad it was a success for you.
I wasn't crazy about it, but I would try a bite of yours in a hearbeat!
I bet the caramel on this was delicious. Way to run before you eat. I'll have to start doing that. I'm thinking this TWD thing is going to make me gain weight.
Hi there,
I came across your blog and saw that you enjoy baking!
Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while baking- as a substitute for sour cream, and mayonnaise, and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Oikos is organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST).
I would love to send you coupons for Oikos so that you can give it a try. If you're interested, shoot me an email at Kdrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them.
Best,

Yeah, I thot they were nuts. But adding those chips. Great idea. I think I will have to try it on some. Great job. It looks delicious.
Mmmm, caramel sounds terrific!
I knew what those were. I wasn't fooled as I have a bag of those in the pantry. Great idea!
You left of us hanging...how'd you get chin splints and mosquito bites?

Oh, they're caramel bits! For a minute, I seriously thought the were garbanzo beans! This looks super tasty.
