BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING



Best Ever Bread Pudding image

The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING



Pecan Pie Bread Pudding image

This rich and custardy dessert tastes like a cross between pecan pie and bread pudding. And if that wasn't decadent enough, we added a homemade praline sauce to top it all off. Day-old French bread is the best choice for this bread pudding. Allow the bread to sit for an hour in the custard mixture before baking to make sure that the bread cubes completely soak up the custard. It will seem like a lot of liquid when you initially begin adding the custard mixture it to the bread, but the bread will act like a sponge and absorb everything in an hour. Don't worry if the top is uneven-when it bakes, it will be extra crunchy. Serve the bread pudding warm (if you're making it ahead, it reheats well in the oven), topped with warm praline sauce and scoops of vanilla ice cream. If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, our Test Kitchen recommends eating it for breakfast with coffee.

Yield servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 large eggs
3 cups heavy whipping cream
3 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 16 ounce day-old French bread loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 14 cups)
Cooking Spray
2 cups pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the Pecan Pie Bread Pudding: Whisk together eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and table salt in a very large bowl. Add bread cubes, stirring to thoroughly coat. Let stand 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure an even coating.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Stir pecans into bread mixture, and transfer mixture to prepared dish. Bake in preheated oven until bubbly around edges and firm in center, about 1 hour, shielding with aluminum foil after 45 to 50 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the Praline Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low; whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until foamy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in cream and brown sugar; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in vanilla and salt; cook, whisking constantly, until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately over warm bread pudding.

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.

Rich, decadent, and boozy, this bread pudding recipe is very flavorful. It has layers of rich, delicious bread pudding and is full of pecans. The rum sauce makes the pudding sweeter and richer.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large eggs beaten
1 c light Karo syrup
1 c heavy cream
1/2 c butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c sugar
1/4 c dark rum or bourbon
8 c cubed bread (use a hearty or heavy bread) does not have to be stale or toasted
1 c chopped or halved pecans divided
RUM SAUCE
1 stick butter
1 c sugar
1/4 c dark rum or bourbon
1/4 c water (if you want a heavy rum or bourbon flavor omit water and use liquor in its place

Steps:

  • 1. I mix mine in the mornings, let sit until I finish dinner and pop it in the oven before we sit down to eat :)
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl add eggs and slightly beat.
  • 3. Add everything but the bread and pecans. Mix well until it is combined really good.
  • 4. Fold in bread and half the pecans.
  • 5. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour mixing every so often to coat bread well. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. This recipe is best if left to sit for 6-8 hours or overnight. It gives the bread plenty of time to soak everything up!
  • 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (I use a little smaller size because I like a thicker bread pudding.) Use whatever size you want :)
  • 7. Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
  • 8. Top with remaining pecans.
  • 9. Pop in the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
  • 10. RUM SAUCE: While bread pudding is baking, in a saucepan melt stick of butter.
  • 11. Add sugar, dark rum or bourbon, and water. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn stove eye off and let sit to keep warm until bread pudding is finished.
  • 12. Remove from oven.
  • 13. While still hot, pour half the rum sauce over the top. Letting it get down between the pudding and sides of baking dish.
  • 14. Let sit for 15 minutes and pour more sauce over it. You judge how much of the sauce you want - some or all it is up to you. I use it all, lol.
  • 15. Enjoy! I like mine warm with vanilla ice cream and hubby eats his with fresh whipped topping.
