Pudin de Pan (Colombian Bread Pudding)

Bread pudding is popular everywhere in its numerous variations. This Colombian version is sweet, rich, and dairy heavy. You pretty much take a loaf of cubed bread and soak it in a sugary milk mixture, then bake it in the oven. What you get is a baking dish of comfort. You can serve it with a light dusting of powdered sugar, or even better, dulce de leche.
