I came across this recipe while reading my RSS feeds. The blog, Savory Spicy Sweet, had some great pictures and the recipe seemed easy enough. It is also made from a small number of items, many of which I already had around the house.

I used a rather stiff Italian bread to make this, and while it turned out great, I would probably use a software bread in the future.

The recipe calls for resting the pudding for 12 hours after baking and you will want to do that. As it rests it absorbs all the remaining liquid and settles into a very "pie-like" texture.
