2 loaves frozen bread, thawed
2 cups brown sugar
1 large package vanilla pudding
1 stick butter, softened
1 teaspoon cinnamon
nuts (optional)

Tear 1 loaf thawed bread into irregular pieces and place in buttered 9 x 13-inch pan. Sprinkle the mixture of brown sugar, pudding, butter and cinnamon over the bread pieces. Tear up the second loaf of thawed bread and layer on top. Cover with a wet towel and let rise about 4 hours.

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Turn upside down immediately. Nuts and raisins may be added with the brown sugar layer.
