Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 challah loaf, sliced 3/4-inch thick
8 extra-large eggs
5 cups half-and-half or milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Arrange the bread in two layers in a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish, cutting the bread to fit the dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, honey, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Pour the mixture over the bread and press the bread down. Allow to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and add enough very hot tap water to the roasting pan to come an inch up the side of the baking dish. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting it so the foil doesn't touch the pudding. Make two slashes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes, until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
  • With a small sieve, dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and serve hot in squares with maple syrup on the side.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard better and results in a more tender pudding.
  • Use a variety of breads: You can use any type of bread for bread pudding, but a combination of different breads will give it a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool before serving: Bread pudding is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a classic bread pudding that your family and friends will love. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away!
