Remember that cinnamon roll crown loaf that I made last weekend? It was quite a large loaf and we had a large piece left at the end of brunch.

So, I froze it for later in the week to use in this wonderful version of Spouse's favourite comfort food dessert, bread pudding.

The light, sweet loaf turned out to be the perfect texture for a great bread pudding. As the photo beautifully demonstrates, it went very well indeed with a generous drizzle of my luscious, buttery, Homemade Caramel Sauce.

I'd use any leftover cinnamon rolls for this recipe, they should work equally well but if you want, you can find my Cinnamon Roll Couronne (crown loaf here.

This bread pudding is great to serve as dessert at a weekend brunch or even as the perfect end to Sunday dinner.

We also find that it's easy to serve the leftovers from this dessert. The bread pudding is very easily microwaved without losing any of the creamy texture.

The sauce can also be heated in the microwave, but be careful not to overheat. Sauces like this one can overheat and burn very quickly.
