PEGGI'S BREAD PUDDING WITH LEMON SAUCE



PEGGI'S BREAD PUDDING WITH LEMON SAUCE image

Another recipe I made in a few restaurants I worked at. Loved by all. I used to use the left over hot rolls at the end of day. I would chunk them up & throw them in a big flat pan & let them dry out a few days, before using.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

PUDDING INGREDIENTS:
6 c dry bread chunks
1/2 c raisins or dried cranberries, soaked in warm water
2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c sugar
3 c milk (or more)
1/4 c melted butter
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tsp pure vanilla
1/2 c chopped pecans (optional)
LEMON SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten by hand
3 Tbsp real lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. For Bread Pudding: Spray Rameikins or deep casserole dish.
  • 2. Mix all pudding ingredients in large bowl except bread. Then add bread. May have to use more or less milk. You want enough to just cover bread after it has set for a few minutes & soaked some up.
  • 3. Spoon into prepared dishes. May need to add more milk.
  • 4. Bake @ 350° for about 20-30 minutes or until set & slightly browned on top. Remove from oven & let set about 10 minutes or so before serving.
  • 5. NOTE: For the best flavor, serve the pudding slightly warm & refrigerate the lemon sauce & pour it over the warm pudding while the sauce is cold.
  • 6. For LEMON SAUCE:
  • 7. *Heat butter & sugar in double boiler until sugar dissolves. Pour in food processor. With lid on, drizzle beaten egg slowly into hot mixture so egg doesn't cook or scramble. Add lemon juice. May adjust lemon juice to taste.
  • 8. *I have made this hundreds of times & could never get the sugar to dissolve completely. I tried this again today, at a slower pace than doing it at a restaurant and I still couldn't get it to dissolve completely on top of the stove. I did cook it a little longer though and it seemed to dissolve more of the sugar. I then put it in the food processor & processed it for a longer time. it came out perfect.

HEAVENLY LEMON BREAD PUDDING



Heavenly Lemon Bread Pudding image

This bread pudding is similar to a souffle. It will, in fact, "fall" somewhat as it cools, but you won't be disappointed with its creamy tartness. This recipe is from Texas Cooking.

Provided by Miss Annie

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups of day old French bread or 3 cups Italian bread, in 1/2 inch cubes
4 teaspoons grated lemons, zest of
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Butter the bottom only of a 2-quart casserole or soufflé dish.
  • Combine bread cubes and lemon zest in large bowl.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine whipping cream, milk, sugar, butter and salt in a heavy saucepan.
  • Over medium heat, cook until butter melts, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour over bread mixture, and toss.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Lightly beat the egg yolks, then beat in the lemon juice, and stir into the bread mixture.
  • Set aside.
  • Beat egg whites in large bowl of electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Do not overbeat.
  • Gently fold egg whites into bread mixture.
  • Pour bread mixture into prepared dish, and bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean.
  • The top of the pudding should be golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar, if desired.
  • Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
  • NOTE:*If your bread is less than a day old, you can"age" it by placing slices in a 300°F oven for 15 or 20 minutes, or until some of the moisture is baked out.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard more easily. You can use any type of bread, but French bread, brioche, and challah are all good choices.
  • Don't overfill the baking dish: The bread pudding will rise as it bakes, so don't fill the baking dish more than two-thirds full.
  • Bake in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to prevent it from getting dry. Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake as directed.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving: This will help the pudding to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite sauce: Bread pudding is delicious served with a variety of sauces, such as lemon sauce, vanilla sauce, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, custardy flavor and soft, tender texture, bread pudding is the perfect comfort food. Whether you serve it warm or cold, with sauce or without, bread pudding is sure to be a hit. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away! Make bread pudding instead.
