I received this from M.S. Russell from the great state of OR. She was kind enough to share this with me from a recent recipe swap, and I wanted to share it here. It is truly good. A very special thank you to Mrs. Russell.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 c diced sour dough french bread
1 qt whole milk
1 pt cream
7 whole eggs
4 egg yokes
1 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c diced dried apricots
1/3 c diced dried cranberries
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Butter a 9 x 12 shallow glass baking dish.
  • 3. Sprinkle the diced bread over the bottom.
  • 4. Combine milk, cream, eggs, additional yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
  • 5. Pour this mixture over the diced bread using a strainer.
  • 6. Sprinkle all the diced dried fruits evenly over the top.
  • 7. Place this baking dish into a larger pan filled halfway up the sides with water. Be careful when you move to the oven that none of the water washes over into your pudding mixture. Or you can pour the water into the empty pan as soon as placing both pans into the oven.
  • 8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
  • 9. NOTE: Will not work or cook properly without the water bath step. Also do not substitue the bread wtih another bread. You can cut away some to the crust from the sour dough french bread if you feel like it has too much crust.

This bread pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. I love that I can make it the day before and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

Loved the texture of this bread pudding – it was light and fluffy, yet still satisfying. The apricot and cranberry flavors were a great combination, and the streusel topping added a nice touch of sweetness.
