Does anyone have a good bread pudding recipe they can share with me??

I know there are recipes out there on yahoo and so forth, but I thought i'd ask if anyone had a family recipe they'd like to share?

Thanks!

When I was in high school and college, I dated a guy whose grandma made THE BEST bread pudding- it had some kind of sauce. Haven't seen ex-boyfriend in ages. Well, I see his brother every day bringing his son to school so today, I asked him if he would get his grandma's recipe for me. I will be sure to share it when I get it. Isn't that a co-inky-dink?

I have made the Boma banana bread pudding a few times before, and it is absolutly wonderful. I've only used challah, but I think they make it at the restaurant with croissants. I usually buy the bread the day before, and cut it into cubes right away, then let the cubes sit over night to dry out. I also let the whole thing sit for an hour+ (once I left it for like 6 hours) in the fridge, which helps the bread soak up more custard. Feel free to make more than one layer as well, depending on your pan.

2 cups Milk
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup 3 T. Sugar
7 each Whole Eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
4 tablespoons Butter
3 each Bananas, sliced
5 cups Croissants, brioche, or challah bread, cubed or one whole loaf of Texas toast, cubed

Method:

1. Cut day-old croissant, brioche, challah, or Texas toast into cubes. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, combine milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, and beaten eggs.

3. In a 9x9 square or round pan, place one layer of bread on bottom. Place bananas on top, followed by a layer of bread.

4. Pour custard mixture over the entire dish, filling it 2/3 to ¾ full. Press top bread layer into custard to prevent the bread from drying out. Add more custard if necessary.

5. Place butter chunks on top of bread pudding.

6. Bake at 300 degrees for one hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

7. Serve with vanilla sauce (recipe below).



VANILLA SAUCE

Ingredients:

3 cups Heavy Cream
1 ½ cups Milk
1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
9 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
6 each Egg Yolks

Method:

1. Heat up milk, vanilla, heavy cream, and sugar.

2. Combine cornstarch with egg yolks.

3. Once liquid boils, temper some of the liquid into the yolks and stir vigorously. Then return tempered yolks into the pot.

4. Turn off the heat and stir continuously until well combined and thickened.

5. Transfer the sauce into a bowl and set over an ice bath to cool.

My step-mom made this last summer and it was VERY good. It is a Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding that you make with the Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. It is better warm.
