1Soak the bread crumbs in the half-and-half for 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
2Pour mixture into a buttered 13x9 inch baking dish.
3Put the dish in a larger baking pan, pour enough hot water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the dish, and bake the pudding in the middle of a preheated 350 oven for 1 hour, or until it is golden.
