added over 1 year agoAmanda's right. Many bread puddings are baked without a water bath. You get a nice, velvety custard when you use the water bath, but I agree that it would be a nuisance to put it into two different pans. Just keep an eye on it, as it no doubt will take less time to cook, when not in the water bath. ;o).
