Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons sugar
One .25-ounce packet active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
6 to 8 dried mission figs, chopped
6 dried pears, diced
Butter, for greasing the bowl

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a saucepan on low heat to just warm. Stir in the sugar and yeast and set aside until bubbly and foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl and create a well. Stir in the yeast mixture, and then knead the dough in the bowl until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the white chocolate chips, figs and pears and knead a bit more to evenly distribute. Place in a greased bowl, cover and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Punch down the dough and lightly knead again. Turn into a greased 10-by-5-inch loaf pan. Allow to rise in the pan for 30 minutes more. Bake the loaf in the oven until the internal temperature reads about 190 degrees F, about 45 minute. Allow to cool about 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and Serve.

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.

for the pudding
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 croissants or 4 the equivalent brioche bread
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a better texture. Stale bread absorbs more liquid and results in a denser, more pudding-like consistency.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread pudding.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This helps to prevent the top from getting too brown and also helps to keep the pudding moist.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, ice cream, and fresh fruit.
