BREAD PUDDING RECIPE

If you like your bread pudding full of custard after baking, make the same amount of custard in this recipe and use less bread (or use the same amount of bread and use more custard), because the bread will soak up most of the liquid. Refer to above post for more info.

Number Of Ingredients 6

450 g/16oz/16 slices 2-inch thick/one loaf day-old bread*
1 cup pecans ((or raisins, chocolate chips, cranberries, etc.))
6 large eggs
1 cup (200 g/7 oz) granulated sugar
4 cups heavy cream ((or milk, half & half, or a combination))
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13-inch pan, and set aside.
  • Cut bread into 2-inch cubes. In a large bowl, mix together bread cubes and pecans. Place the mixture evenly in the pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar. Add cream and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Pour cream mixture over bread mixture in the pan until completely covered. Gently press down the bread cubes to fully cover with custard. It's best to let the casserole sit for 1 hour, covered, at room temperature, but if you're in a hurry, bake it right away.
  • Preheat oven to 325F/160C. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until custard has set and the top is golden brown. If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Don't over bake or the bread will be dry. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
  • Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. It is best the same dat it's made.

CUSTARD BREAD PUDDING

I received this recipe from my husband's aunt who has been serving this at her restaurant for years. Great for people who don't like bready things, because it has more custard than bread.

AUNT EMMA'S BREAD PUDDING

My Aunt Emma made the best bread pudding I've ever had. She passed away about 5 years ago and I just ran across a copy of her recipe in my recipe box. Thought I'd share it with you. The brown sugar melts as it bakes on top so it kind of has a caramelized sauce built in. Crumble the brown sugar over the top between your fingers so it doesn't all sink.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9 x 13 inch pan, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf white bread (regular size as opposed to Jumbo or family size)
1 quart milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Break the bread into small chunks in a large bowl.
  • Add the white sugar and melted butter and stir.
  • Add the eggs one at a time alternately with the milk stirring well so that each egg is incorporated before adding the next one until all the eggs and milk are used.
  • Stir in the vanilla and raisins.
  • Pour into a greased lasagna pan or a 13x9" inch pan.
  • (sometimes the 13x9 tends to get over full depending on the particular loaf of bread).
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top of bread mixture.
  • Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 1 hour.
  • Let cool 20 to 30 minutes as pudding will set firmer as it cools.
  • Can be served warm or chilled.
