Kneaders is a great bakery, cafe in Utah. Is it nationwide?? I am not sure. Anyway, they are famous around here for their baked goods, soups and desserts. Everything that I have ever had from Kneaders is wonderful. I got this recipe from my friend Sheri. I am not sure if it is the REAL Kneaders recipe--but it was fantastic! My hubby requested it this year for his birthday, instead of cake. Mmmmm--**Tips** I did not use cream--that just seemed to rich for my tastes. I used half and half whenever it said cream in the recipe. I baked this in my Le Cresuet 9x13 deep dish baker. I had to keep it in the oven an extra 20 minutes. Next time I will use my roasting pan, it is bigger than a 9x13.

Wow, this looks absolutely delicious! I love the three different components.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there since my college days...the bread pudding looks good!!Thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. I've never made bread pudding before, but I think I am going to have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy!! I love Kneaders, I am pretty sure that they are NOT anywhere but Utah. Whenever we visit family in Utah we always have to stop at Kneaders. Thank you so much for posting this great recipe.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Kneaders, but I live in Mississippi. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of heaven with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bread do you use in this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI used the Utah 'Grandma Sycamores' white bread. It is very soft and tender--so i cut mine up in the morning and just loosley covered it hoping to "age" it a bit!
ReplyDeleteThis was yummy Mel! Kneaders or not, this recipe is good!
ReplyDeleteThe first ingredient listed is cream mix. What is cream mix?
ReplyDeleteWe tasted the Kneeders version tonight and can't wait to try your recipe.
Hi Seeg's,
ReplyDeleteThe Cream Mix is not an ingredient--just a heading for that section of the recipe. There are three sections-- Cream Mix, fruit filling and Vanilla Sauce.
Sorry for the confusion--Hope you love it!

The only Kneaders outside of Utah is in Yuma, AZ (my son lives there). They are opening a second one there soon.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the sauce to turn our right...any suggestions? janemc@griener.org
ReplyDeleteHow can I convert this recipe to a slow- cooker? I need to bring a crockpot dessert to a church activity. Please help!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a big fan of Kneader's bread pudding. I found this recipe and made it for him on Christmas Day. He LOVED it! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI was not able to make the sauce work, and know others that have had the same problem. Any suggestions. I'm confused because I thought butter got the nutty aroma when it is browned, but the recipe says do not brown. Is that the problem? Also how long do you boil it to make it thick? Help!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that some of you have had a hard time with the sauce! I don't make this recipe very often--but have never had any problems with the sauce when I do. I will try and make it in the next week or two and see if I can add to the directions with some tips. I remember it coming together very easily. I think the nutty aroma is from the combination of butter and flour heating up. I hope it works for you next time because it really is a wonderful sauce for the pudding:)
ReplyDeleteAs much as I want to make this recipe, I can't do it! That has got to be the least healthy recipe I've ever seen in my life. But I'm sure it tastes good!
ReplyDeleteDear Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean!! I used half and half instead of cream--but still! I would suggest this dessert for a crowd where everyone can have a small serving and there will be no leftovers to tempt you:)
[...] Now that you’ve heard my story about this scrumptious stuff, you can only guess how ecstatic I was when I found the recipe over at The Sisters Cafe. [...]
