COPYCAT FAMOUS DAVE'S™ BREAD PUDDING WITH PRALINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325º. Coat the bottom and sides of a 13x9 baking dish heavily with butter. Tear cinnamon bread into 1-inch pieces. Mix with raisins and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish, turning bread crust-side down to prevent burning.
• In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon until blended. Pour over the bread mixture, soaking the bread thoroughly.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until the pudding has firmed.
• To make the praline sauce, heat ½ cup of butter in a large saucepan until melted. Use a large saucepan, as the mixture will foam. Add pecans to melted butter and mix well. Bring to a boil. Boil until the pecans begin to change color. Add the remaining butter and mix well, then remove from heat. In a second saucepan, combine the brown sugar, heavy whipping cream and cinnamon, and mix well. Cook over low heat until the mixture has blended, stirring constantly. Increase the heat, and continue stirring. Cook until the temperature reaches 230º (use a candy thermometer). Stir in the pecan mixture. Add the sour cream and vanilla, and mix well. Remove from heat.
• Serve bread pudding topped in warm praline sauce with a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to the pudding, and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

FAMOUS DAVE'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat bottom and side of a 2" deep (very large) baking dish heavily with butter.
• Tear bread (including ends) into 1" pieces. Mix with raisins and spread it evenly in the prepared dish; be sure to turn as much of the crusts side down as they tend to burn easily.
• Whisk sugar, milk, whipping cream, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon until blended. Pour over bread mixture.
• (I skip this step) Place baking dish in a 4" deep baking pan. Add water to reach halfway up side of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour in 325 F oven.
• Remove from water bath and let stand until completely cold. (Keep in mind that this is a pudding, so it will NOT be "dry" like a cake.).
• Spoon into dessert bowls, warm in the microwave and drizzle with warm praline sauce. Top with whipped cream and add a scoop of ice cream.
• PRALINE SAUCE: (THIS IS A LOT OF SAUCE, SO I CUT IT IN HALF AND IT IS STILL PLENTY. Remember: this is a SAUCE, so it is somewhat "runny.") Heat 1 cup of butter in a large saucepan until melted. Add the pecans and mix well. Bring to a boil. Cook until pecans begin to change color. (Mixture will foam over, so use a large saucepan.) Add remaining butter and mix well. This will cool the pecan mixture and stop the cooking process. Remove from the heat. Combine brown sugar, whipping cream and cinnamon in a saucepan and mix well. (Do not beat after you add whipping cream, just mix.) Cook over low heat until blended, stirring constantly; increase heat--but be sure NOT to let it boil. Cook to 230 F on a candy thermometer. (This step is crucial, so find yourself a candy thermometer!) Stir in pecan mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, heavy cream, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, lemon zest, and salt, and mix well to ensure the sugar has been dissolved. Add the reserved raisin soaking liquid to the milk mixture and pour over bread. Let sit until bread has soaked up all of the milk mixture for at least 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place baking dish in another large pan and add water about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour or until bread pudding has set. Remove bread pudding from oven and let cool to just warm.
