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 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

EVE'S APPLE BREAD PUDDING



Eve's Apple Bread Pudding image

Adapted my way from Simple French Food by Richard Olney. I decided to add the drunken raisins and made a few other adjustments that I think makes it better and, believe it or not, less caloric than the original. If you like, you can cube the bread instead of crumbling it.

Categories     Puddings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound(s) apples, quartered, cored and sliced
1/2 cup(s) dark raisins or currants
1/4 cup(s) white wine or enough to cover raisins (not cooking wine)
2 - large handfuls french bread crumbs, crusts removed, about 1/4 of a 1 lb. loaf
1/2 stick(s) butter
1/8 teaspoon(s) powdered cinnamon
1 cup(s) milk
2 - eggs

1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) white sugar
3 - egg yolks, discard whites
2/3 cup(s) white wine
1/4 teaspoon(s) lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a small dish, soak the raisins in wine for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Saute the apples in about 3 tablespoons butter, tossing from time to time, until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs in the remaining butter (adding more butter if necessary) over very low heat, stirring regularly, until they are uniformly golden and crisp.
  • Spread the crumbs in the bottom of a lightly buttered 8"x12" baking dish. Arrange the apples on the bed of crumbs. Drain the raisins and sprinkle on top of the applies. Sprinkle cinnamon lightly over all.
