Rustic Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce image

Bread pudding is such a treat. Every time I see it on a dessert menu, I order it, and I wonder why I do not make it more often myself. Finally, I decided it was time to develop a recipe for bread pudding that works with the crusty artisan bread I make, as well as a recipe for homemade caramel sauce that tempts people to lick their plates. Enjoy!

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 23

Bread Pudding
800 grams or 10+ cups of cubed/torn crusty bread
4 cups of milk
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
5 Tbsp of unsalted butter melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Optional
1/2 cup of raisins
1 apple peeled and thinly sliced
ground ginger, cardamom or clove
Caramel Sauce
11 Tbsp butter (1 stick plus 3 Tbsp)
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar (dark or light both work fine)
4-6 ounces of evaporated milk
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Optional
1-2 Tbsp bourbon or whisky

Steps:

  • Bread Pudding
  • Grease a rectangular glass baking dish. (I used a narrow and deep 3 qt baker. A wider and shallower baker may require you to drop the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.)
  • Spread the bread pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
  • Melt the 5 Tbsp of butter and set aside. (I use the microwave on a low power setting to avoid washing a saucepan.)
  • In a 2-3 quart bowl, ideally with a pour spout, mix the eggs and sugar, then add in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Finally mix in the melted butter.
  • Gently pour the contents of the bowl over the bread. Use a wide spatula to press the bread downward to soak up more of the liquid.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, removing from the fridge at least once, partway through, in order to mix the bread, mash it down and break it up a little more.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and remove the baking dish from the fridge. Mix, mash and break up the bread one last time before placing it in the preheated oven to bake.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil for the final 15 minutes if the bread pudding seems to be getting too toasted.
  • Let it cool at least 20 minutes before serving with the caramel sauce below, ice cream, or whipped cream.
  • Caramel Sauce
  • In a small saucepan, boil the butter, brown sugar, water, and salt for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract and 4-6 oz of evaporated milk until you reach slightly less than the thickness you prefer. (The caramel sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.) I used 6 ounces of evaporated milk. If I were adding bourbon, I would use less evaporated milk.
  • Pour or funnel the sauce into a jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Extra sauce can be frozen in a plastic container.

BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
  • Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
  • Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh bread, eggs, milk, and sugar will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
  • Soak the bread cubes in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help the bread pudding to be moist and flavorful.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Try experimenting with different flavors of bread, fruit, and spices to create your own unique bread pudding recipe.
