Best 9 Toasted Bread And Butter Pudding Recipes

TOASTED BREAD-AND-BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Butter both sides of bread slices and arrange in 1 layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven, turning over once, until lightly toasted, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Whisk together half-and-half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Halve toasted bread slices diagonally and arrange triangles in rows, overlapping slightly, in a buttered 3-quart shallow baking dish.
• Pour custard evenly over toast and let stand 15 minutes.
• Bake pudding in a hot water bath until custard is set 2 to 3 inches from edges but still trembles in center, 50 to 60 minutes. (Custard will continue to set as it cools.) Serve warm.

PRALINE FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Generously butter a rectangular baking dish (13 x 9 x 2 1/2 inches); use the prettiest one you have. Set out a large shallow pan for the water bath. Cut the bread across into 3/4-inch-thick slices. If you are not using a braided bread, cut slices into four triangles each. Arrange bread slices in rows, leaning and overlapping them, if necessary.
• 2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on high until light golden and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Beat in the cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg. Pour over the bread in the dish, lifting the bread up slightly to pour between the slices and letting the custard soak in (this is important; see The Junior's Way).
• 3. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, combine all praline topping ingredients, except syrup. Using your hands, spread the mixture over the top of the soaked challah, pushing some down between the slices. Cover the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and drizzle the maple syrup over the top. Place the dish in the center of a larger pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it comes 1 inch up the side of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is puffy, souffléd, and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes (don't let it overbake or get too brown). Touch it: The top should be spongy, not dry or crusty. The bread pudding is best served piping hot, right out of the oven.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Butter 1 1/2-quart casserole. Spread one side of each slice bread with butter. Layer bread slices, buttered sides up, in casserole; sprinkle with cinnamon. Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl; mix in granulated sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in milk; pour over bread.
• Place casserole in pan of very hot water (1 inch deep). Cover casserole loosely with aluminum foil. Bake 20 minutes; remove foil. Continue baking 35 to 40 minutes longer or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge of casserole comes out clean. (Cover with foil if top gets too brown.)
• Remove casserole from hot water. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm. Store covered in refrigerator.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan.
• Butter the bread on both sides and cut into triangles. Arrange a single layer of buttered bread in the bottom of the greased pan, slightly overlapping the triangles. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar and all of the currants. Arrange the remaining bread on top, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.
• Beat milk, eggs, and nutmeg together. Pour over the bread and press down firmly to compress the pudding and help the bread absorb the milk mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, about 30 minutes.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING FRENCH TOAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut out an 8cm (3") circle from each slice of bread and lightly spread with butter. Divide the dried fruit between 8 bread discs and sandwich with the remaining discs, buttered sides together. Press together well.
• Beat the eggs, cream, milk and vanilla together in a shallow bowl.
• Clarify the rest of the butter, by melting and pouring off the buttery liquid into a large non-stick frying pan, leaving the white solids behind. Put the frying pan over a medium heat.
• Dip the fruit 'sandwiches' into the egg mixture until well-soaked and evenly coated. Fry the sandwiches for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on kitchen paper, then dip in the caster sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Serve immediately.

MOM'S THANKSGIVING BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Spread bread slices with butter, then use a sharp knife to cut each slice into 4 squares.
• Arrange 1/2 of the bread squares in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with raisins and 1/2 of the cinnamon. Cover with remaining bread and cinnamon.
• Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until a film forms over the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add sugar; stir until dissolved.
• Pour some of the hot milk into the beaten eggs, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined. Stir in vanilla and pour mixture over the bread.
• Set the casserole in a pan and fill with 1 inch hot water. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, beat the egg, milk and a pinch of salt with a fork until very smooth and bubbly on top.
• Add both bread slices (it's OK to stack them if they don't quite fit) and soak them, turning a few times, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around the pan until it melts. The soaked bread will be really soft, so carefully pick up each slice by sliding your whole hand under it, then setting it in the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the slices, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the other sides are brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Enjoy hot, with more butter spread over the slices and with your favorite toppings.

RAISIN TOAST BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven (fan-forced) to 160 degrees Celsius.
• In a large bowl, add custard, cream, eggs and vanilla essence and whisk until combined. It should be a fairly thick cream.
• Take each slice of raisin bread and spread it with butter to the edges of the bread. Then cut into half diagonally and arrange into overlapping triangles in a 20 x 30 cm baking dish. Depending on how thick your bread is, you may need more slices to fill up the dish.
• Scatter the raspberries and chocolate chunks evenly over the bread making sure they go between the slices as well.
• Gently pour the custard-egg-cream mixture over the bread so that it fully covers the bread but the tops of the triangles are sticking up.
• Carefully place into pre-heated oven and bake for around 45 minutes. It should have set but still have a little wobble to it. Allow it cool to room temperature and serve.

BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING TOAST

Steps:

• Use a bread knife to remove the crusts and square up the brioche loaf. Cut the loaf into 3cm slices, then cut each slice into three rectangular fingers. Whisk together the eggs, milk and Irish cream liqueur in a shallow dish. Put the brioche fingers in the egg mixture and leave for about 5 seconds on each side until they are soaked but still holding their shape.
• Put a large frying pan on a medium heat, add the butter and heat until sizzling. Add the brioche fingers to the pan and slowly cook on a medium-high heat, turning so all sides are an even, golden brown. Remove the toast from the pan and toss in the sugar, then transfer them to a baking tray or rack. Use a blowtorch to caramelise the sugar on all sides or, if you don't have a blowtorch, grill on each side for 1 min, or until the sugar has melted. Leave the brioche to cool and the sugar crust to harden.
• Tip the crème fraîche into a bowl and whisk until it thickens and forms soft peaks - initially it will loosen but continue to whisk. Serve a big pile of the toast in the middle of the table with the crème fraîche for dipping into or spreading over.
