"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
6 slices day old white bread
2 tbsp. melted butter or margarine
1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
For cinnamon mixture:

2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish or 9x13 pan if doubling recipe.

Brush bread slices lightly with butter on both sides. Sprinkle lightly but thoroughly on both sides with cinnamon mixture. Cut each slice into quarters. Arrange the slices in layers in prepared dish.

Beat eggs, stir in sugar, milk and vanilla. Continue stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over bread, making sure all slices are saturated. Let rest for about 15 minutes, giving the bread time to absorb some of the liquid. Squoosh the slices down into the liquid periodically.

Set baking dish in slightly larger pan containing about 1 inch of hot water. The pudding will bake inside the larger pan in the oven. Place carefully in oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes (for both size recipes) or until a knife inserted 1/2 inch into the custard comes out clean.

Remove both pans carefully from oven. Carefully lift up the pan with the bread pudding from the outer pan and let cool.

Serve the pudding warm or chilled.
