CAKE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING



Cake Doughnut Bread Pudding image

Okay, I know this never happens but, just for fun, let's say you have cake doughnuts sitting around that have gone stale. Impossible, I know, but let's just imagine it happened. You don't want to throw them away; that would be a waste. So, you really only have one option: Make bread pudding. It's really best when you serve it with cold ice cream on top. And caramel sauce. Oh, and chocolate chips. It's called "bread pudding" because originally it was made with stale bread, which might sound gross, but if you have old (but not too old!) bread sitting around, try this recipe with it. You'll freak out it's so good.

Time 1h10m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch baking dish

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray, for the baking dish
10 to 12 cake doughnuts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes, arranged on a sheet pan and either dried overnight, uncovered, or baked at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes
3 cups (480 grams) whole milk
1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (14 grams) pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
7 large eggs
1/2 cup (93 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar, plus more if needed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 57 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, line with parchment and spray again. Place the doughnut pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  • Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the eggs and whisk to combine so that it's all the same light yellow color. Let sit for 3 minutes and whisk again.
  • Pour the custard mixture over the doughnut pieces. Gently, press down a few times to make sure all the doughnut pieces are wet with custard. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • In another bowl using a wooden spoon, mix together the brown sugar, butter and a pinch of salt. If it's loose, add more brown sugar until it gets crumbly. Sprinkle the top of the bread pudding with chunks of the sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or just until the bread pudding is only slightly jiggly in the center. To test, using an oven mitt, carefully grab the oven rack and give it a little shake. If the middle sloshes around, it's not done. If it gives a firm jiggle, it's done.
  • Serve warm, cold or at room temperature, topped with ice cream.

DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING



Doughnut Bread Pudding image

Don't pass up those day-old doughnuts in the grocery store. They make great bread pudding! Just about any kind of raised yeast doughnuts work except for jelly. Apple fritters are even good. I sometimes use a combination of cinnamon, glazed, sugared doughnuts and apple fritters for an interesting combination. You don't have to add any extra fat and very little (if any) extra sugar depending on taste.

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 stale raised glazed donuts
½ cup raisins or other dried fruit
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish.
  • Tear the donuts into bite-size pieces. Combine donut pieces and raisins in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish, to prevent drying.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Provided by starmaster25

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
  • Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
  • Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • FOR SAUCE:
  • Stir sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat. Pour in cream (mixture will bubble up). Stir over low heat until caramel is melted and smooth. Increase heat; boil until sauce is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, stirring often, about 4 minutes.

  • Serve pudding warm or at room temperature with warm sauce.

Tips:

  • Use day-old donuts for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you don't have day-old donuts, you can toast fresh donuts in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes, or until they are slightly firm.
  • Use a variety of donuts to create a more flavorful bread pudding. Try using glazed donuts, chocolate donuts, and jelly donuts.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the custard for extra flavor.
