4 c Milk
1/4 c Unsalted butter --

4 oz Unsweetened chocolate --
- best quality
2 lg Eggs

This is a great recipe. It's more like a deep chocolate pudding than
a bread pudding. The bread crumbs dissolve and melt into the eggs and
chocolate as it bakes, and forms a smooth custard that's rich but not
heavy.

Preheat oven to 325?F, with rack in center. Butter a 1-1/2 qt
shallow baking dish. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter,
and chocolate. Bring to boil over medium-low heat, and stir
occasionally, until butter and chocolate melt. Meanwhile in a large
bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add bread
crumbs and stir in the hot milk mixture. Pour into prepared baking
dish. Bake until the pudding is set and kind of wobbly, but not
liquid in the center, about 45 to 60 minutes; don't over-bake. Let
cool on wire rack. Serve the silk pudding slightly warm or cold, with
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you want.

Martha's note:

Be sure to use unsalted butter. Salted changes taste considerably.
