Best Shaker Bread Pudding With Oozing Caramel Sauce Recipes

BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
• Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
• Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

PEACHY BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Chop the peaches and lightly mash them in a mixing bowl. Combine the sweetened condensed milk and the eggs; add them to the peaches and mix well. Stir in the hot water, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir the French bread into to the custard mixture until the bread is completely moistened. Turn the pudding into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
• While the pudding is baking, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, corn syrup, and rum in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until just slightly thickened. Let cool slightly.
• Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about ten minutes before serving. Serve warm with the caramel sauce. Cool and cover any leftover pudding and store it in the refrigerator.

RUSTIC BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bread Pudding
• Grease a rectangular glass baking dish. (I used a narrow and deep 3 qt baker. A wider and shallower baker may require you to drop the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.)
• Spread the bread pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
• Melt the 5 Tbsp of butter and set aside. (I use the microwave on a low power setting to avoid washing a saucepan.)
• In a 2-3 quart bowl, ideally with a pour spout, mix the eggs and sugar, then add in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Finally mix in the melted butter.
• Gently pour the contents of the bowl over the bread. Use a wide spatula to press the bread downward to soak up more of the liquid.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, removing from the fridge at least once, partway through, in order to mix the bread, mash it down and break it up a little more.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F and remove the baking dish from the fridge. Mix, mash and break up the bread one last time before placing it in the preheated oven to bake.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil for the final 15 minutes if the bread pudding seems to be getting too toasted.
• Let it cool at least 20 minutes before serving with the caramel sauce below, ice cream, or whipped cream.
• Caramel Sauce
• In a small saucepan, boil the butter, brown sugar, water, and salt for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract and 4-6 oz of evaporated milk until you reach slightly less than the thickness you prefer. (The caramel sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.) I used 6 ounces of evaporated milk. If I were adding bourbon, I would use less evaporated milk.
• Pour or funnel the sauce into a jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Extra sauce can be frozen in a plastic container.
