BEST BREAD PUDDING

Look no further: this is the only bread pudding recipe you will ever need. This super-thick version is equal parts sweet and custardy, with just a touch a spice. Perfect for a special event, or for Sunday morning breakfast at home.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 cups cubed challah or brioche bread (about 12 ounces; 1-inch cubes)
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs plus 6 yolks
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
  • Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
  • Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING



Simple Bread Pudding image

This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.

Tips:

  • Select a hearty bread that can absorb the custard mixture without becoming soggy. Stale or day-old bread is a great choice.
  • Use a variety of breads for different textures and flavors. For example, try combining white bread, whole wheat bread, and raisin bread.
  • If using dried fruit, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes before adding it to the bread pudding mixture. This will help to soften the fruit and prevent it from becoming too chewy.
  • Use a flavorful liquid in the custard mixture, such as milk, cream, or eggnog. You can also add spices, extracts, or liqueurs to taste.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to create a moist and creamy texture. This will also help to prevent the bread pudding from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be customized to suit your own tastes. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion.
