Bread pudding from hoscah

Over the holidays I made a couple loaves of hoscah.  They looked great, but were a bit dry.  I had put raisins, dried apricots, and dried cherries in them.  I think the dried fruits pulled too much moisture out of the dough.  Next time I may rehydrate the fruits before adding them.  Here was the hoscah:

It did make pretty good toast.  I took a loaf to my great uncle, who appreciated it.

So after having it around for a few days, I decided it should be turned into bread pudding.  Last night, while Ev was at the doctor for his annual check up, I made a pan of bread pudding.

No, it isn't very pretty, but it was very tasty!  It is such a simple, homey dessert.
