BREAD PUDDING II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 2-quart saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium heat until butter is melted and milk is hot.
• In large bowl, mix eggs, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir in bread cubes and raisins. Stir in milk mixture. Pour into ungreased deep round pan.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Serve warm with whipping cream.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first 10 ingredients until blended. Gently stir in bread. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. or 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar; let stand until bread is softened, about 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes., Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Gradually stir in cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla, sea salt and baking soda, stirring well. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

DAD'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs.
• Add the salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, milk, (and raisins if using) and mix well.
• Remove the crust from the bread and gently tear into small pieces (don't squish the bread!).
• Add the pieces of bread in to the mixing bowl and fold in until well incorporated and everything is wet.
• Pour everything into a greased 8x8 glass baking dish.
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until set.
• Let stand a few minutes and serve warm with caramel sauce or ice cream!

FAMOUS DAVE'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat bottom and side of a 2" deep (very large) baking dish heavily with butter.
• Tear bread (including ends) into 1" pieces. Mix with raisins and spread it evenly in the prepared dish; be sure to turn as much of the crusts side down as they tend to burn easily.
• Whisk sugar, milk, whipping cream, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon until blended. Pour over bread mixture.
• (I skip this step) Place baking dish in a 4" deep baking pan. Add water to reach halfway up side of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour in 325 F oven.
• Remove from water bath and let stand until completely cold. (Keep in mind that this is a pudding, so it will NOT be "dry" like a cake.).
• Spoon into dessert bowls, warm in the microwave and drizzle with warm praline sauce. Top with whipped cream and add a scoop of ice cream.
• PRALINE SAUCE: (THIS IS A LOT OF SAUCE, SO I CUT IT IN HALF AND IT IS STILL PLENTY. Remember: this is a SAUCE, so it is somewhat "runny.") Heat 1 cup of butter in a large saucepan until melted. Add the pecans and mix well. Bring to a boil. Cook until pecans begin to change color. (Mixture will foam over, so use a large saucepan.) Add remaining butter and mix well. This will cool the pecan mixture and stop the cooking process. Remove from the heat. Combine brown sugar, whipping cream and cinnamon in a saucepan and mix well. (Do not beat after you add whipping cream, just mix.) Cook over low heat until blended, stirring constantly; increase heat--but be sure NOT to let it boil. Cook to 230 F on a candy thermometer. (This step is crucial, so find yourself a candy thermometer!) Stir in pecan mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Remove from heat.

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Prepare the pudding. Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl to beat lightly. Whisk in milk, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly combined.
• Tear sourdough and brioche breads into bite-sized pieces. Add both breads to the custard mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until well coated. Allow to stand at room temperature and soak for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
• After soaking, spoon bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Remove the pudding from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Return pudding to the oven and bake until firm with a lightly crisped top, about 6 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
• While pudding cools, prepare the sauce. Beat egg in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the heavy cream.
• Combine sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove saucepan from heat. While rapidly whisking the butter and sugar mixture, slowly pour in the beaten egg and cream mixture, whisking until entirely incorporated. Whisk in bourbon and return to medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in salt.
• Cut the pudding into squares and serve with warm bourbon sauce.
