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

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING



Best Ever Bread Pudding image

Let's face it, bread pudding is wildly underrated. And I honestly believe it's because so often, the bread pudding we've experienced in restaurants or even at potlucks more closely resembles a sweetened bread cinder block than a rich, custardy pudding. This recipe is here to give you a new lease on the classic dessert. It's almost too easy, but yields utterly decadent results. The key is in the ratio of bread to custard base; this recipe calls for quite a bit of bread, but also has an adequate amount of liquid components to balance it out.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 large eggs
4 cups whole milk
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
¾ cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) loaf sourdough bread
14 ounces brioche
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons bourbon
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the pudding. Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl to beat lightly. Whisk in milk, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly combined.
  • Tear sourdough and brioche breads into bite-sized pieces. Add both breads to the custard mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until well coated. Allow to stand at room temperature and soak for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • After soaking, spoon bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Remove the pudding from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Return pudding to the oven and bake until firm with a lightly crisped top, about 6 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • While pudding cools, prepare the sauce. Beat egg in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the heavy cream.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove saucepan from heat. While rapidly whisking the butter and sugar mixture, slowly pour in the beaten egg and cream mixture, whisking until entirely incorporated. Whisk in bourbon and return to medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in salt.
  • Cut the pudding into squares and serve with warm bourbon sauce.

THE BEST BREAD PUDDING EVER



THE BEST BREAD PUDDING EVER image

I have been experimenting with bread pudding for years, since it is my husbands favorite, and I don't have to throw out the old bread. The main ingredient that makes this recipe the best is the brown sugar instead of white sugar. This is a keeper and now my search is over. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

THE BEST DARN BREAD PUDDING I EVER MADE!



The Best Darn Bread Pudding I Ever Made! image

Two days ago I made the best bread pudding I've ever had. At Costco they carry B.B. Bakery Cinnamon Swirl Bread. I love this bread! I had a loaf in the refrig & stood there looking at it wondering what wonderful thing I could make out of it other then French Toast. The light bulb went on & I remembered my Mother"s recipe & made...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 loaf of cinnamon swirl bread, b.b.bakery
8 jumbo extra large organic eggs
6 c organic raw whole milk
2 c organic raw half and half or cream
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 /1/2 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 c golden raisins, soaked in brandy or hot water, drained (optional)
1 c nuts mixed, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, chopped into pieces. (optional)
1 vanilla bean scraped or 1 1/2 teaspoons of extract , any you like
1 cup dark chocolate chips melted for drizzling (optional)
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. As this was baking it was hard to resist just sticking a fork in and grabbing a bite before it was finished. My house smelled so good and I wish I had some left over this morning to eat. But, my testers ate it all. Sigh! Cut the slices of bread in 1" inch pieces. Place in a buttered large roasting pan. Add the nuts, or raisins. Mix lightly. You can use currants or dried cranberries or any dried fruit or use them all. Beat the eggs with the milk and half/half or cream, sugar and vanilla bean seeds or extract. Add the spices. Add the half a cup of cooled melted butter. Beat all together.
  • 2. Pour the spiced milk butter mixture over the bread and let sit in the refrig. a couple of hours. Fold it over to lift the bottom to the top and to soak the top. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until done. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
  • 3. Serve with a Hot Brandy, Rum or Vanilla sauce made of powdered sugar, butter, cream, rum or brandy or any extract you like. Or make a homemade hot thin pudding as I did. Or serve with a hot Chocolate sauce. Serve HOT with the a sauce of your choice. If the top looks like it is getting too brown cover with tin foil and finish baking.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING



Best Ever Bread Pudding image

This is an easy way to use up stale French or Italian Bread. It is delicious warm or cold. It can be varied by using peeled apples, or dried cranberries, cherries, or blueberries in addition to or instead of the raisins. It is very good plain; but, I especially enjoy it with a Lemon Sauce topping. Refer to Recipe #21838.
