2 loaves frozen bread, thawed
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 large box instant vanilla pudding
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Nuts (optional)

Tear 1 loaf thawed bread into irregular pieces and place in a buttered 13 x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle the mixture of brown sugar, pudding and cinnamon over the brad 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 degrees F for 30 minutes. Turn upside down immediately. Nuts and raisins may be added with the brown sugar layer.
