Ingredients:
1     (16 ounce) King's Hawaiian Original Bread; cut into one-inch cubes
2     cups heavy cream
1 1/4     cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2     cups sugar
2     cups milk
2     eggs, beaten
3     egg yolks, beaten
2     teaspoon vanilla extract
2     cups toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions:
1. Cut bread into cubes the night before and leave out, allowing them to become slightly stale.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat cream over medium heat. Meanwhile, place white chocolate chips in large mixing bowl. When cream comes to a simmer, remove pan from heat and slowly pour over chips, whisking until chips melt. Whisk sugar into mixture; add milk, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla. 
3. Add bread to bowl, gently stirring to coat cubes. Set mixture aside to allow bread to soak, tossing periodically. (About 30-40 minutes or so.)
4. Toss pecans into soaked bread mixture, then pour into a baking dish. (Individual dishes can be used for single servings).
5. Place in 350°F oven for about 45 minutes. Test bread pudding to make sure the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked (not too dry though).
6. Remove from oven and serve with caramel sauce.

Caramel Sauce
For the Caramel Sauce, use a homemade recipe, like the one found at KingsHawaiian.com, or a ready-made topping from your local grocer.
