MAPLE-PECAN PRALINE TOPPED FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING



Maple-Pecan Praline Topped French Toast Bread Pudding image

Whenever I make a loaf of gluten free bread, I can't seem to eat all of it before it goes stale or moldy. While I could slice and freeze half, I prefer to use it for bread pudding, stuffing, meatloaf, etc. This is an excellent use for bread that is too hard and stale to eat. I would not make it from fresh squishy bread, as I think it would probably dissolve in the egg custard. The original recipe, Debbie Tate's "Make Ahead French Toast" at allrecipes, suggests 8 slices of French bread. I would assume that sourdough, old hard sandwich rolls, etc. would also work beautifully. This morning I used the last quarter loaf of bread made from Bob's Red Mill GF Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix. I would be happy to serve this for company, or Christmas morning. It is *extremely* rich - most people will be too full to finish off two helpings.

Time 9h15m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups stale bread (measured when cut into 1 inch cubes)
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • The night before you want to eat this, grease a baking dish. I use a 9x9 glass baking pan (2 qt) so that the resulting product will be coffee cake height. If you use a 9x13 pan, you won't need to bake it on a cookie sheet to catch drippings (or clean the oven afterwards), but will have a flatter casserole. Cube the bread and spread it evenly in the pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the custard (eggs, milk, half-and-half and vanilla). Pour over the bread cubes, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight/8 hours.
  • The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl (I use the pyrex 4-cup measuring cup I used to melt the butter in the microwave), combine the topping ingredients (melted butter, brown sugar, syrup and pecans). Spoon topping over bread and custard mixture. In the 9x9 pan, it will cover the custard completely.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 40 minutes. Bake it on top of a cookie sheet if you are using a 9x9 pan or you will have melted butter spattered all over the bottom of your oven afterwards.
  • When you take it out of the oven, the butter will still be bubbling. Let it rest at least 5 minutes, and it will be reabsorbed into the casserole, and you will have a nice crunchy topped casserole that holds together when cut into.

MAPLE PECAN MONKEY BREAD



Maple Pecan Monkey Bread image

Maple syrup gives an autumnal feel and subtler sweetness to traditionally sugary monkey bread. Any grade of maple syrup works: B and C will give you a more robust maple flavor, while Grade A will deliver a more delicate, refined sweetness. Here, the syrup is mixed with brown butter and used to glaze extra-rich brioche dough rounds and toasted pecans. It all caramelizes together into a fluffy yet chewy pull-apart bread punctuated with the crunch of nuts. If you prefer a rustic look, you don't have to roll the pieces of dough into balls. Just cut them into even pieces and coat with the cinnamon sugar. This recipe is at its soft and gooey best the day it's made, but it can be kept at room temperature overnight and reheated in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups/450 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/4 cups/285 grams unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks), cut up and softened, plus more for the bowl and pan
1/4 cup/50 grams sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup/100 grams pecan halves, toasted

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix flour, yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt on low speed to blend. Add eggs, 2 tablespoons syrup and 3 tablespoons warm water, and beat on low speed until the mixture comes together. Switch to the dough hook and beat on low speed. While beating, add 3/4 cup/1 1/2 sticks softened butter, a few pieces at a time, until fully incorporated. Continue beating, scraping bowl and hook occasionally, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. (If the dough doesn't come together easily after a few minutes and remains shaggy, dry, or tough, add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a smooth, soft ball.)
  • Lightly butter a large bowl. Turn dough into bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Gently press the dough down. If it feels very soft or greasy, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 15 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • When ready to assemble, melt remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until dairy solids turn golden brown and butter smells nutty. While stirring, add remaining 1/2 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon salt in a steady stream. Bring to a boil, stirring, then remove from the heat.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Butter a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan. Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and roll into a 2-inch thick rope. Cut into 8 even pieces, then cut each of those pieces into 8 pieces for 64 pieces total.
  • Gently roll a piece into a ball and drop in cinnamon sugar. Repeat until you have a single layer of balls at the bottom of the bowl. Shake the bowl to evenly coat the balls with the cinnamon sugar. Put the sugared balls in the pan and repeat until you have a single layer in the pan. Scatter some pecans all around. Repeat until all the balls and pecans are in the pan. Drizzle the brown butter syrup all along the sides of the pan and over the top of the balls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise until puffed and an inch away from the top of the pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover pan and bake until golden brown on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Put pan on a wire rack and let stand for 5 minutes. Center a large plate over the pan, grip the plate and pan together, and quickly and carefully flip both together. Carefully lift off the pan. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

BANANA MAPLE PECAN BREAD MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE)



Banana Maple Pecan Bread Muffins (Gluten-Free) image

I bought a 20lb bag of bananas at Krogers for $1.00 and have been trying to use them all up. This is one of the recipes I made in the process. It was by far the most scrumptious recipe that I made. It could also be made into a bread, but I made muffins. This is definitely my new default banana bread recipe! Imade a double batch and ended up with 39 muffins. I made half with the called for maple syrup/pecan topping and half with a cream cheese topping. To make the cream cheese topping, I whipped 6oz cream cheese with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup. These were absolutely heavenly fresh out of the oven. *For the gluten free flour, I used Bette Hagman's mix: 2 parts garfava bean flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 3 parts cornstarch, and 3 parts tapioca flour.

Time 35m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 ripe bananas, coarsely mashed
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 cups flour (*I used Bette Hagman's GF Bean mix, description above)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons dry buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
6 ounces cream cheese (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine bananas with 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup pecans. Mix well and set aside.
  • Combine flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and dry buttermilk. Alternatively if you do not have premixed pumpkin pie mix, use equal parts cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Combine eggs, oil, and water. Pour into the center of the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Use a spatula or knife to make three or four "troughs" in the dough/batter. Spoon banana mixture into troughs. Gently fold bananas into dough with knife.
  • Spoon dough into muffin cups. Top with pecan-maple mixture. If using cream cheese frosting, coat tops of muffins after they are baked, not before.
  • Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Makes about 18 good sized muffins.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pecans: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, plump pecans. Avoid any that are shriveled or have dark spots.
  • Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use Real Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup adds a rich, decadent flavor to the bread. Avoid using pancake syrup or other artificial sweeteners, as they will not provide the same depth of flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving the bread, let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Conclusion:

    This maple pecan bread is a delicious and versatile treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, nutty flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special bread to bake, give this maple pecan bread a try.
