Tear off two 15x6" pieces of heavy foil. Fold each piece in thirds lengthwise. Crisscross the strips and place the souffle dish in the center. Bringing up foil strips, lift the ends of the strips and transfer the dish and foil to a 3 1/2-, 4-, or 5-quart crockpot. (Leave foil strips under dish.) Pour warm water into the crockpot around the dish to a depth of 2" (about 1 cup).
Cover; cook on LOW for about 4 hours or on HIGH for about 2 hours or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Using foil strips, carefully lift the dish out of crockpot. Serve bread pudding warm or chilled. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with nuts. Makes 6 servings.
