Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup pear brandy
½ teaspoon salt
2 (1 pound) loaves sliced artisan bread, cut into 3/4 inch strips with crusts removed
4 pears - peeled, cored and sliced
2 cups heavy cream
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla just until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup white sugar, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, pear brandy and salt.
  • Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with a layer of bread. Top with a layer of pear. Pour about 1/4 of the custard over the layers followed by about 1/3 of the heavy cream. Sprinkle with some of the crumb topping. Repeat layers until you are out of ingredients, ending with the crumb topping on top. Press down on the layers as needed to help them absorb the liquid. Cover the pan with parchment paper then seal with aluminum foil. Place another baking pan on top or two dinner plates to keep it from puffing while it bakes.
  • Place the pudding onto a larger pan or cookie sheet with sides. Pour boiling water into the bottom pan until it is half way full.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 25 minutes. Pudding is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

PEAR BREAD PUDDING

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     brunch, weekday, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large, ripe but firm Comice pears, peeled, cored and sliced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 cup dry red wine
2 cups milk
Pinch of salt
5 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark rum
4 cups dried whole wheat bread in 1/2-inch cubes
6 sprigs fresh mint for garnish
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss the pear slices with the lemon juice; then, place them in a saucepan with 1/2 cup of the sugar, 1 teaspoon each of the cinnamon and nutmeg, and the wine. Cook over medium heat until wine is reduced so it just coats the pears.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Scald the milk in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, and stir in the remaining sugar and the salt. Mix the eggs with the vanilla, rum and remaining cinnamon and nutmeg, and gradually whisk into the milk.
  • Place the bread cubes in an 8-inch-square baking pan 2 inches deep. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and press down so it absorbs the liquid. Place the baking pan in another pan. Add boiling water to come halfway up the sides. Bake 20 minutes.
  • Spread the pear mixture over the top, return to the oven and bake 20 minutes longer.
  • Cool on a rack about 30 minutes, but serve warm. Garnish each serving with a sprig of mint and, if desired, serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for the best texture. Fresh bread will make the pudding soggy.
  • If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven until it's dry and crispy.
  • Use a variety of breads for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of white bread, whole wheat bread, and sourdough bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pudding tough.
  • Bake the pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding pear pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's also a fun and creative way to serve pears. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
