BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
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.

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.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

EVE'S APPLE BREAD PUDDING
Adapted my way from Simple French Food by Richard Olney. I decided to add the drunken raisins and made a few other adjustments that I think makes it better and, believe it or not, less caloric than the original. If you like, you can cube the bread instead of crumbling it.

Steps:
- In a small dish, soak the raisins in wine for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Saute the apples in about 3 tablespoons butter, tossing from time to time, until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Toast the breadcrumbs in the remaining butter (adding more butter if necessary) over very low heat, stirring regularly, until they are uniformly golden and crisp.
- Spread the crumbs in the bottom of a lightly buttered 8"x12" baking dish. Arrange the apples on the bed of crumbs. Drain the raisins and sprinkle on top of the applies. Sprinkle cinnamon lightly over all.
- Whisk together the milk, 2 eggs, 1/3 c. sugar, and salt, and pour slowly over the apples. Bake at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes.
- For the sauce, whisk together the last four ingredients in the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water, whisking constantly, until thickened.
- Serve warm, topping each individual serving with a spoonful or two of the sauce. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
- Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Add the apples to a saucepan with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water. Stir, cover and cook briskly for five minutes until the apples are soft.
- Add the butter and caster sugar and stir. Then transfer to a 900ml/1½ pint capacity ceramic gratin dish, about 5cm/2in deep. Leave to cool while you prepare the topping.
- For the topping, cream together the butter and caster sugar until fluffy and light.
- Fold the flour and egg in alternate spoonfuls into the sugar mixture until blended, being careful to keep folding rather than stirring energetically - this will keep air in the mixture and fold in. Add a spoonful of boiling water to the mix.
- Spoon the mixture over the apples. Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is puffy and golden. Serve with cream or custard.

Tips:
- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the custard better than fresh bread, resulting in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
- Dry the bread cubes: Drying the bread cubes in the oven before adding them to the custard helps to prevent the bread pudding from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of breads: Using a variety of breads, such as white, wheat, and rye, adds flavor and texture to the bread pudding.
- Add mix-ins: Feel free to add mix-ins to the bread pudding, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing the custard can make it tough. Stir just until the eggs and milk are combined.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to prevent the top from browning too quickly and also helps to keep the bread pudding moist.
- Let the bread pudding cool before serving: Let the bread pudding cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread pudding to set.
Conclusion:
Eve's Bread Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy custard and tender bread, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit. Whether you are looking for a classic bread pudding recipe or something with a little more flair, Eve's Bread Pudding has something for everyone.
