Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf day-old French baguette
5 eggs
3 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
  • Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
  • Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
  • Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

Tips:

  • Using stale bread is ideal for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard better and results in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
  • If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to dry it out.
  • For a more decadent bread pudding, use a combination of different types of bread, such as brioche, challah, or sourdough.
  • Be sure to soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become tender.
  • If you don't have time to soak the bread overnight, you can microwave it in the custard mixture for 1-2 minutes, or until the bread is softened.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your bread pudding, such as nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. This will also help to create a creamy, custardy texture.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to set and become more firm.

Conclusion:

Pecan Bourbon and Butterscotch Bread Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, decadent flavor and creamy, custardy texture, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
