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.

SUZY'S BREAD PUDDING



Suzy's Bread Pudding image

So simple and yet so tasty!! It travels well for bringing to parties. Eat hot, cold or a sliced portion from the freezer microwaved with maple syrup as you would a dutch apple pancake. Apples are my favorite thing to add to this but there are endless possibilities.

Categories     Breads

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar (brown or white or a mix of both)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 a loaf of cubed pepperidge farm cinnamon raisin bread (or whole loaf for double batch)
**optional ingredients....apples, bananas, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, dates, oatmeal, coconut and anything else tasty you can think of!

Steps:

  • 1. This is so simple and so good. It is great both hot and cold or microwaved a serving from the pan straight from the freezer. It will keep for a long time if it doesn't get eaten first. I have experimented through the years with adding a number of different things to this basic bread pudding recipe. I usually add apples and make a double batch using a whole loaf of Pepperidge Farms cinnamon raisin bread. I increase the cooking time to an hour and a half when I make a double batch. The test for doneness is when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean like a cake. You can also tell because all of a sudden it will look like a quiche and poof up. It will slowly sink as it is cooled after baking. I have used cranberries, apples, bananas, oat meal for added fiber, blue berries, dates and cream cheese....just to name a few ingredients. I usually make the double batch and then freeze it. You can individually when frozen cut slices and top with maple syrup and microwave and eat it for breakfast. Use microwaved bread pudding as a base for a scoop of ice cream for a tasty desert. It is so simple and has good ingredients in it but tasty!! Suzy's Bread Pudding (single batch) Beat together 4 eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1/3 cup of sugar (can use brown and white sugar or all brown), 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place 1/2 a loaf of cubed Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin bread in a square 9x9 pan. (the pan doesn't have to be greased). Pour egg mixture over all. Bake 325 for 40 to 45 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING



Simple Bread Pudding image

This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.
