AUNT EMMA'S BREAD PUDDING

Aunt Emma's Bread Pudding image

My Aunt Emma made the best bread pudding I've ever had. She passed away about 5 years ago and I just ran across a copy of her recipe in my recipe box. Thought I'd share it with you. The brown sugar melts as it bakes on top so it kind of has a caramelized sauce built in. Crumble the brown sugar over the top between your fingers so it doesn't all sink.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9 x 13 inch pan, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 loaf white bread (regular size as opposed to Jumbo or family size)
1 quart milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

Break the bread into small chunks in a large bowl.
Add the white sugar and melted butter and stir.
Add the eggs one at a time alternately with the milk stirring well so that each egg is incorporated before adding the next one until all the eggs and milk are used.
Stir in the vanilla and raisins.
Pour into a greased lasagna pan or a 13x9" inch pan.
(sometimes the 13x9 tends to get over full depending on the particular loaf of bread).
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top of bread mixture.
Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 1 hour.
Let cool 20 to 30 minutes as pudding will set firmer as it cools.
Can be served warm or chilled.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING

Best Ever Bread Pudding image

The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 cups cubed challah or brioche bread (about 12 ounces; 1-inch cubes)
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs plus 6 yolks
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
