Jon brought home a loaf of french bread with poppy seeds the other day from work… I made 2 breakfast panini’s out of it, but by the 3rd day it was completely stale. The only other thing I could think of doing with it besides throwing it in the trash was making bread pudding. I was a little hesitant with the poppy seeds, but boy did this come out amazing! I found this recipe in the Super Suppers Cookbook.
