The Inspiration for this dish came from an old croissant Bread Pudding recipe that used croissants and a Flan mixture in a double broiler to make a delicious Bread Pudding desert!
Take a metal cake pan put in the 6 table spoons of sugar ( add more if needed) over the stove and caramelize the sugar. Use oven mitts or pot holders melted sugar is extremely hot! Use low heat move pan constantly stirring with a wooden spoon. After you have a golden layer of melted sugar on the bottom, set pan aside. Mix all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl except for the bread. Take this liquid mixture and pour about a third of it over the caramelized sugar. Next tear the raisin bread into about 1 inch pieces and place on top of the liquid when the liquid is covered with bread add more liquid. continue layering this way until the pan is full usually about 10 slices of bread, just make sure all bread used is well saturated. when full place pan in 13 x 9 x 2 in. casserole dish, pour boiling water into the casserole dish about half way up the flan pan and then place in preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out quickly. When done, refrigerate until cool, pull out and run a knife along side the pan, then place a plate on top and flip the pan over the plate. Gently raise the pan, cut and serve with cream topping!

A true hybrid in every sense of the word! If you like flan or pudding this desert is bound to please your palate! It is not nearly as sweet as you would think, and taste great with whip cream topping! If you prefer the taste of Flan to pudding then you can scald the milk and use 2 Tbs. of sugar (instead of 1 sugar & 1 brown sugar). When buying the raisin bread try to pick a brand that has cinnamon swirls and lots of
