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.

BASIC BREAD PUDDING II



Basic Bread Pudding II image

This bread pudding is very versatile and lovely in texture. Christmas time can inspire a bread pudding by simply substituting a good-quality eggnog for the milk (or part of it). Also add a pinch of nutmeg and mace to produce a sumptuous holiday dessert. Otherwise, enjoy this just as it is with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs more liquid and results in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding. If you don't have stale bread, you can dry it out by spreading it in a single layer on a baking sheet and baking at 200°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • Choose the right bread: Different types of bread will result in different textures in your bread pudding. For a denser pudding, use a hearty bread like sourdough or whole wheat. For a lighter pudding, use a white bread or brioche.
  • Soak the bread in a custard base: This helps to soften the bread and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple custard base made with milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract, or you can get creative and add other flavors like spices, chocolate, or fruit.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This helps to create a moist, evenly cooked bread pudding. Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake.
  • Let the bread pudding cool before serving: This allows the flavors to develop and the pudding to set. You can serve bread pudding warm or cold.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a perfect bread pudding that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you have some stale bread, don't throw it away – make bread pudding!
