BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
Let's face it, bread pudding is wildly underrated. And I honestly believe it's because so often, the bread pudding we've experienced in restaurants or even at potlucks more closely resembles a sweetened bread cinder block than a rich, custardy pudding. This recipe is here to give you a new lease on the classic dessert. It's almost too easy, but yields utterly decadent results. The key is in the ratio of bread to custard base; this recipe calls for quite a bit of bread, but also has an adequate amount of liquid components to balance it out.

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.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

BETTER THAN RESTAURANT BREAD PUDDING
When I was a teenager I went to work for my Aunt "K" at her restaurant. On one of the slower days she wanted me to make the bread pudding for the dessert menu in the evening. I will never forget how wonderful the caramel sauce smelled while it was cooking! It was super easy, but oh so rewarding. She treated me to my creation when it came out of the oven and gave me a small piece while I went on break. The taste was excellent. A few years later she gave me the recipe which I thought I had lost forever but happily stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and made some to take to work. It was gone in 3 minutes flat, so I thought I would store this treasure here so that I will not lose it again, ENJOY!

Steps:
- Carmel Sauce:.
- Combine the sugar and water in a heavy bottomed sauce pan that holds at least 2 1/2 quarts.Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then raise the heat to medium and bring to a boil.Let the mixture boil until it begins to smoke and thicken. It will rise up in the pan, become very foamy and start emitting puffs of smoke.Drop in the butter and stir until it dissolves.Stir in the cream.Return to a boil, then turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Cool to lukewarm.
- Fruit:.
- Use 1 cup of chopped dried apricots. Place in a heavy saucepan and cover with water and add sugar. Stir, bring to a boil and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes or until the apricots are soft. (NOTE: You can use the dried fruit of choice but this is what we use. Also instead of the fresh apple, you can sub for half a cup of dehydrated apples, but not the crunchy type. You would want the soft chewy type, I believe they're called apple rings. I like using those better because they don't turn brown while you're chopping them. You would then add this type of apple to your apricot/sugar-water mixture.).
- Bread & Custard:.
- Preheat oven to 375°F Trim the crust off the french bread and cut into 1/2 inch slices and set aside. (truthfully, you don't have to trim the crust off, as long as you soak the break with the custard really well. It will be nice and soft and it does not effect the flavor at all.) Beat the eggs, flour, sugar for about 1 minute at medium speed. Add the cream and mix just enough to combine. Peel, quarter, core and grate the apple. Arrange the bread slices to cover the bottom of a 2 1/2 quart souffle dish. Do not overlap them, but at the same time try not to leave any spaces.Pour 1/3 of the custard over the bread making sure it is well soaked. Scatter the grated apple and apricot pieces over the bread, then drizzle caramel sauce over that.Repeat the bread, custard, apple, and apricot layering and end with the bread slices, custard over that and caramel on top. Bake 30 - 50 minutes until custard is set.
- *Note* Reserve any extra caramel sauce that you may have for later when you want to reheat your bread pudding -- if it makes it that far! If I have it i tend to garnish my bread pudding with chopped walnuts.

- Blueberry Bread Pudding with Blueberry Sauce. For a taste of summer freshness and indulgence, bake up this blueberry bread pudding. The addition of toasted pecans and coconut add an almost tropical element to the dessert, but the bread, melted butter, and cream maintain the cozy bread pudding flavors you expect.
- Chocolate Bread Pudding Casserole. If French toast had a more buttery, chocolaty cousin, it would look like this holds-nothing-back dessert masterpiece.
