BREAD PUDDING:
1 loaf italian or french bread, broken into small pieces and allowed to stale overnight in a bowl covered with a dish cloth or paper towel.
2 c sugar
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 c half and half or heavy cream
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped pecans
PRALINE TOPPING:
1 1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1 stick butter, softened
1 c chopped pecans.
VANILLA SAUCE (OPTIONAL):
2 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4-6 tsp water or milk (or enough to make a smooth sauce and thin enough to drizzle over the baked bread pudding)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan.
  • 2. Mix sugar, eggs, vanilla and cream in a bowl. Blend in the pecans and pour mixture over the staled bread pieces. Stir, evenly coating the bread. Allow to sit for 10 minitues to absorb the liquid.
  • 3. While waiting, prepare the praline topping in another bowl. Mix the softened butter and the brown sugar, then stir in the chopped pecans. Set aside.
  • 4. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and press lightly into the pan to get rid of air pockets. Crumble the Praline Topping evenly over the top.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until set. Do not over cook! Can be served as is or with the vanilla sauce if preferred.
  • 6. To prepare the vanilla sauce, mix the confectioners' sugar and vanilla with milk or water. Add the liquid a bit at time to bring it to a smooth consistency that is easy enough to drizzle over the bread pudding. Once you have reached the desired consistency, heat over low heat until heated through and drizzle evenly over the pudding. Enjoy!

This bread pudding was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a disaster. The bread pudding was dry and the praline sauce was too runny.

I thought this bread pudding was just okay. The praline sauce was good, but the bread pudding itself was a little dry.
