Ultimate Caramel Bread Pudding image

Adapted from a Cook's Illustrated recipe, this is by far the best bread pudding I've ever had. Rustic, easy, and oh-so-delicious. Make two and hide one for yourself.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 , 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups caramel sauce (see separate recipe)
1 large loaf bread
5 large eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Spread 1 c Caramel Sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Any large loaf will do, but a nice French bread, or a Challah work especially well.
  • Spread bread cubes onto sheet pan in a single layer. Brown in oven for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 325. Don't forget this step (the voice of experience speaks)!
  • In a medium bowl, mix eggs, half-and-half, vanilla and salt. Add 1 1/2 c caramel sauce to this mixture.
  • Place bread cubes in a very large bowl and pour mixture over cubes. Toss gently until all cubes are coated.
  • Let stand 20 minutes, gently mixing occasionally. Be sure that there are no dry cubes!
  • Spread the soaked bread over the caramel in the 13 x 9 pan.
  • Bake at lower oven level for 45 minutes.
  • Let cool 30 minutes and serve, drizzled with remaining caramel sauce.

I thought this was a bit bland. I would probably add some spices next time.

This was a bit too eggy for me. I think I would have liked it better with less eggs.

The caramel sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the bread pudding itself was very good. I would probably make it again with a different sauce.

This caramel bread pudding was absolutely delicious! The texture was perfect - moist and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy top. The caramel sauce was rich and flavorful, and it soaked into the bread perfectly. I will definitely be making t
