I know this delicious bread pudding recipe that is a great dessert choice for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

INGREDIENTS:
5 to 6 cups torn brioche bread or rolls, about 8 ounces
1/2 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
juice and finely grated zest of 2 oranges (1/2 cup juice and about 2 teaspoons zest)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups half-and-half, heated until hot but not boiling
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar

PREPARATION:
Butter a 9-inch square or 11x7-inch baking dish. Heat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl, combine torn bread, cranberries, orange zest, and juice. In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla, butter, half-ahd-half, and eggs. Pour over the bread; stir in sugar. Let bread soak for about 5 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish; place in a larger pan and place on rack in oven. Pour very hot water into the larger pan, to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until set. Serve with vanilla sauce, an orange custard sauce, or a little heavy cream. Serves 6 to 8.

Isn't this recipe called "poor man's pudding"??? I always confuse this dessert with the bread and butter pudding. My mother made this recipe when I was little, but I didn't really enjoyed it. I just don't like soaked bread.
