Bread Pudding Recipe?

[Stephanie218]

Hi!!

Looking for a recipe for bread pudding....I've never made it before, but it's pretty much all my DBF wants for his birthday this weekend (besides to find a reasonably priced apartment around Camp Pendleton, haha). I've googled, but wasn't sure which ones would be the best.

Can anyone help? Thanks!!

There's tons and tons of recipes out there, but this is the one I make a lot:

Ingredients:
8 cups cubed day-old cinnamon or white bread
2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of cranberries
2 macintosh apples- cored, peeled, and sliced


Directions:

Place cubed bread in crockpot. In a mixing bowl, combine the next 6 ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in apples and cranberries. Pour over bread; stir gently. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours.

Brandy sauce for the pudding:
Use a little apple juice or cider in place of the apple brandy or Schnapps, if you would rather not use alcohol. A little cinnamon would jazz it up, too.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons corn syrup
dash salt
3 tablespoons apple brandy or Apple Schnapps
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
PREPARATION:
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 6 minutes longer. Watch to make sure it doesn't boil over.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm with bread pudding.
Makes about 1 cup

I don't know a good recipe, but the best bread pudding I ever had came with a whiskey sauce that was sooo good. This stuff was so strong it had a little "kick" to it.

Oh Stephanie.... you are so fortunate that I happened by!
I have the BEST bread pudding recipe EVER!!!!

I take no credit for it being so wonderful... I simply found it in a cookbook
but I've made it often and get rave reviews!

You taste the whiskey in the sause much more than in the pudding. I've served it with and without the sauce, if you use the sauce add it sparingly... it's got a strong flavor, it's wonderful but can overpower the pudding if you use too much.

Sounds like Micca's had it before!!!!!

Enjoy!!!!


Irish Bread Pudding with Caramel-Whiskey Sauce

Pudding:

1/4 cup light butter, melted
1 (10-ounce) French bread baguette, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup Irish whiskey
1 3/4 half & half
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
3 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine raisins and whiskey in a small bowl; cover and let stand 10 minutes or until soft (do not drain).

Brush melted butter on one side of French bread slices, and place bread, buttered sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake bread at 350° for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Cut cooled bread into 1/2-inch cubes, and set aside.

Combine half & half and next 4 ingredients (half & half through eggs) in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add bread cubes and raisin mixture, pressing gently to moisten; let stand 15 minutes. Spoon bread mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over pudding. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until set. Serve warm, (with Caramel-Whiskey Sauce if desired).

Note: Substitute 1/4 cup apple juice for the Irish whiskey, if desired.




Caramel-Whiskey Sauce

This recipe goes with Irish Bread Pudding

1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter
2 ounces cream cheese (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup Irish whiskey
1/4 cup half & half

Combine sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.

Cook an additional 15 to 30 minutes or until golden (do not stir).
*This must be watched!!! It seems like it's taking forever and then suddenly it starts to turn brown, you want it to be a medium carmel color, dark enough to still appear caramel after you add 1/2 & 1/2 & cream cheese, but not so dark it burns.

Remove from heat. Carefully add butter and cream cheese, stirring constantly with a whisk (be careful adding ingredients mixture will be hot and bubble vigorously).

Cool slightly, and stir in whiskey and half & half.

Note: You may substitute 1 tablespoon imitation rum extract and 3 tablespoons water for the Irish whiskey, if desired.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 (3-inch) square and 2 tablespoons sauce)

Here's a sugar-free bread pudding from allrecipes.com that's yummy. We're not wild about the sauce, just eat it plain. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sugar-Free-Bread-Pudding-with-Whiskey-Sauce/Detail.aspx

For extra yum, try using leftover raisin bread with a coupla sliced bananas mixed in or raisin bread with thinly sliced granny apples. Double yummy!

Anybody have a basic recipe that tastes great? No fruit. No nuts. No sauce.?
