Hawaiian sweet roll pudding

Ever since I bought 6 bags of Hawaiian bread on sale at Walmart for $2 per bag, I have had the idea that I would make bread pudding from them. Well today was the day! I already had my base recipe picked out and I had a pack of rolls ready..so I was literally ready to roll...pudding! *Insert rim shot for corny joke here*

Did I mention how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE Allrecipes.com?? Well..yeah, I do!!

Since the recipe called for 6 slices of regular bread I figured I had to pump my ingredients up a little because I would be using eat of the Hawaiian rolls and they are much thicker than just regular bread. I also planned on making my own caramel bourbon sauce to top it off with. Yummmmmyyy! I'm getting hungry all over again.
Here is the recipe I came up with and they came out absolutely fabulous!!!

Bread Pudding
8 Hawaiian rolls each cut into 4 cubes
1 cup melted butter
5 eggs
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup brown sugar (but can be taken down to 1/2 cup if you prefer)
2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1/2 cup of raisins


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place bread cubes in an 8x8 baking dish.
Pour half of the melted butter over the bread cubes and then toss them around to coat with the butter then, pour the remaining melted butter onto the cubes and toss again just to get each piece moistened.
In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, both milks, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla until well blended.
Pour mixture over the bread cubes pressing down pieces as necessary to moisten them with the egg and milk mixture.
Sprinkle your raisins on top. (Add more if you like more raisins.)
Place in your preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until it springs back in the middle.

If you want to take your bead pudding a step further and top it with caramel bourbon sauce here is the recipe. Enjoy!!

Caramel bourbon sauce
1 cup of brown sugar
8 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of heavy cream
2 t of bourbon

In a heavy sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the brown sugar,cream and bourbon.
With a rubber spatula, stir mixture until it bubbles and thickens slightly, then reduce your heat to med-low.
Simmer sauce for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
Put you a heaping portion of bread pudding in your bowl and drizzle caramel sauce on top of it.
Yummy!
