CREAMY CRANBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 large bakery challah or brioche (about 8 ounces bread)
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups heavy cream
1 pinch salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup dried cranberries
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 3 1/2 cups of cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure they do not brown too much; set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.
  • In a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large bowl to smooth the mixture and remove the vanilla bean. Add the bread cubes, toss well and let soak until absorbed. Fold the mixture occasionally to ensure even soaking.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the orange juice to a simmer. Add the cranberries and simmer until plumped and softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup for garnish.
  • Fold in remaining 3/4 cup of cranberries into bread pudding mixture. Divide the mixture among 6 ramekins, custard cups, or dessert cups, (or use a deep baking dish). Divide the soaked bread among the dishes, then pour any remaining custard over the bread. Dot with remaining cranberries.
  • Arrange the puddings in a hot water bath. Bake until set and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes for individual puddings and 40 to 45 minutes for 1 large pudding. Serve warm or chilled, dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 regular loaf or 3 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, plus more, for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest, optional
1 cup shredded pears, excess moisture squeezed out
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the cranberries and walnuts and toss together. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded pears. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla bean seeds in a small bowl.
  • Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard mixture more evenly and results in a more consistent texture.
  • Use a variety of breads: Feel free to mix and match different types of bread for a more complex flavor and texture, such as white bread, wheat bread, and sourdough.
  • Don't oversoak the bread: The bread should be soaked in the custard mixture just long enough to absorb the liquid without becoming too mushy. About 5-10 minutes is usually sufficient.
  • Use a variety of mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your bread pudding, such as dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or spices, to create different flavor combinations.
  • Bake until the custard is set: The bread pudding is done baking when the custard is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-walnut 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 stale bread and it's also a great make-ahead dish. With its rich, custardy texture and sweet-tart flavor, cranberry-walnut bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
