I was thinking of making this for my boys. I could go all out and start by baking the 'OHana breakfast bread from scratch but that's a bit ambitious with everything else I'm making for Thanksgiving. What do you think about substituting King's Hawaiian Bread for the 'OHana breakfast bread? If I compare the two the only thing that seems different is the lack of coconut.
Why not give it a try, see how it comes out? I doubt it would be terrible, and it might actually do the trick and approximate the original. I'm thinking it won't be quite the same, but maybe close enough. Good luck!
The recipe for the bread pudding I have from the Delicious Disney cookbook has both coconut and pineapple in it. They actually recommend using Challah. You need a sturdy egg bread. King's Hawaiian is a bit too light and fluffy.
You can also use coconut milk in place of some of the milk in the recipe.
Thanks Natalie. I found that one online now. Definitely simplifies things.Quote:

I saw them available at my local supermarket just last week. Don't forget to let the bread and custard mixture set for a half hour or so before baking. If you don't the custard part just kind of floats on top.
Panettone bread pudding sounds wonderful. May have to make that for Christmas with a rum raison sauce, yum!Quote:

The thing that my husband (Not a bread pudding fan like me) loves about
'Ohana's bread pudding is that it isn't as dense and crusty as a traditional bread pudding. I think this one would actually take some trial and error.
I agree, so it has been removed from our Thanksgiving menu. I told DS I would do it when I had the time to make the 'OHana Breakfast Bread from scratch. Going with Pumpkin Cheesecake with a biscotti crust instead, this is something I can make in my sleep and is always a favorite.Quote:
