2 loaves frozen bread (thawed slightly)

1 package COOK & SERVE vanilla pudding (NOT instant)
1 cup brown sugar (3/4 cup is enough)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 Tblsp milk

Roll each loaf in wax paper (not plastic wrap - it will stick) and refrigerate overnight. I do this right before bedtime, it thaws just enough. In morning, cut one loaf into small pieces (about size of a quarter or a bit larger) and drop in greased 9x13 cake pan (or bundt pan). Melt butter in saucepan and stir in pudding, brown sugar, cinnamon, milk. When smooth, pour over bread pieces. Cut up second loaf and fill in open spaces. Cover with a towel, let raise until double. Preheat oven to 350 and bake 25 to 28 minutes. Remove and cool for 5 minutes then tip out on wax or parchment paper.
