2 cups milk
3 cups heavy cream
4 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup boiling water, plus more for pan

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside. Put bread in a large bowl; set aside. Heat milk and cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just about to simmer; remove from heat.
  • Whisk eggs, yolk, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour cream mixture in a slow, steady stream into egg mixture. Pour over bread; fold to combine. Let stand 30 minutes, tossing and pressing occasionally to submerge bread.
  • Meanwhile, soak raisins in 1 cup boiling water for 30 minutes.
  • Drain; stir raisins into bread mixture. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a slotted spoon, transfer bread to buttered dish; pour liquid in bowl over top. Using spoon, turn top layer of bread crust side up.

THE BEST BREAD PUDDING



The Best Bread Pudding image

Toasting the challah adds flavor, but more importantly, it helps the cubes to soak up and hold onto more of the deliciously rich custard (a high ratio of cream to milk makes it that way). And if that wasn't enough, we use not 1 but 2 vanilla beans to amp up the custard - plain old extract just doesn't do it justice. For a pleasing textural contrast, we top the pudding with turbinado sugar before baking to get a sweet crunch with every bite.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 cups challah (about 18 ounces, 1-inch cubes)
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
2 vanilla bean pods, seeds scraped
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs, plus 4 yolks
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, salt, cinnamon, eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that it is completely covered.
  • Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish until melted, about 1 minute. Drizzle the butter over top of the custard and then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

CLASSIC BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING



Classic bread & butter pudding image

Cook this bread and butter pudding in a water bath for a gorgeous soft and creamy texture that contrasts wonderfully with the caramelised crust

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

600ml double cream
8 large egg yolks
175g caster sugar , plus extra to top the pudding
16 slices white bread , crusts removed
75g unsalted butter , softened, for spreading
100g raisins
¼-½ whole nutmeg , for grating
ice cream , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the cream in a pan until boiling. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, about 3-5 mins. Pour the hot cream over the eggs, whisking continuously, and when everything is mixed, set aside.
  • Spread the bread with the butter, and cut into triangles. Arrange in a shallow baking dish, about 20 x 26 x 5cm, buttered-side up, in three layers, sprinkling the raisins and finely grating some nutmeg over the bottom two layers and leaving the top layer clear. Pour over the warm custard, lightly pressing the bread down with your fingers to help it soak in. Leave to stand for at least 20 mins before cooking. Can be prepared up to this stage several hours ahead, chilled and cooked when needed.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the dish in a large roasting tin and pour a kettleful of hot water into the roasting tin so it comes three-quarters of the way up the outside of the dish. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until the custard is just set.
  • Remove the pudding from its water bath and scatter the top liberally with more sugar. Caramelise the top under a hot grill or with a blowtorch - take it really far (a few burnt edges add to the flavour), but be careful it doesn't catch. Leave the pudding to rest for 5 mins, then serve with your favourite ice cream - I like bitter orange marmalade ice cream.

  • Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and fruit.
