DUFF'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine water and creamer. Add butter. Beat 30 seconds.
• Add sugar, vanilla, eggs, and salt. Beat at high speed 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
• In a non-greased casserole dish, place 1-1/2 cups mixture and sprinkle with raisins. Add the slices bread cut 1" x 1".
• Toss lightly and add the remaining mixture. Pour evenly over the bread and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Bake at 325 degrees 40-45 minutes. Cool and top with Nutmeg Sauce.

CAKE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, line with parchment and spray again. Place the doughnut pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the eggs and whisk to combine so that it's all the same light yellow color. Let sit for 3 minutes and whisk again.
• Pour the custard mixture over the doughnut pieces. Gently, press down a few times to make sure all the doughnut pieces are wet with custard. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• In another bowl using a wooden spoon, mix together the brown sugar, butter and a pinch of salt. If it's loose, add more brown sugar until it gets crumbly. Sprinkle the top of the bread pudding with chunks of the sugar mixture.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or just until the bread pudding is only slightly jiggly in the center. To test, using an oven mitt, carefully grab the oven rack and give it a little shake. If the middle sloshes around, it's not done. If it gives a firm jiggle, it's done.
• Serve warm, cold or at room temperature, topped with ice cream.

DUFF'S BEST BREAD ON EARTH BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add the water to the center of the bowl and mix on low speed to combine. Raise the speed to medium and knead until the dough pulls away from the bowl in a smooth, clean mass, about 10 minutes.
• ​Lightly flour your workspace, turn the dough out of the bowl and lightly knead for about a minute, then shape into a ball. Lightly oil the inside of a large bowl, add the dough and rub oil over the top. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, then put in a warm spot, such as the top of the fridge, until it's more than doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• ​When the dough is almost ready, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a rack in the middle position. Stack two matching baking sheets and place in the oven. Or, if you have a baking stone, use that instead.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl, punch it down and flatten it until it's about 2 1/2 inches thick. Shape the dough into a boule (round loaf). Lightly flour the top, cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise for another 25 minutes.
• ​Remove the plastic wrap and score the top of the loaf. Open the oven door all the way and use a baking peel or the floured underside of a baking sheet to slide the loaf onto the hot stacked baking sheets or baking stone, working gently but quickly so as not to deflate the dough. Bake for about 10 minutes, then open the oven door and carefully throw a few handfuls of water at the bottom of the oven to create steam. Close the door quickly and continue to bake until well browned, 12 to 15 minutes more.
• Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and bake until the loaf is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely, at least 1 hour. That lets the crumb set. Listen to the loaf crackle as it cools-that's a good sound. Serve at room temperature.

OFFICE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Cut doughnuts into quarters, then soak in the mixture for 15 minutes.
• Grease six 6-inch ramekins with butter. Divide the filling among the ramekins, then place the ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch pan with warm water coming halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil, then bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes. Serve with Frozen Berry Goo.
• Combine berries, juice, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until the berries break down and it becomes a drizzleable sauce, about 10 minutes.
