Bread Pudding With Homemade Caramel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Tear brioche into 1-inch pieces and place in prepared dish. In a large bowl, combine milk, custard dessert mix, rum, eggs, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended. Stir in nuts and raisins, if using. Pour over brioche; press down lightly on brioche to submerge into custard. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until brioche absorbs custard slightly. Bake for 50 minutes, or until top is golden brown and bread pudding puffs. Serve warm with Caramel Rum Sauce.
• Combine caramel sauce, cream, and rum in medium glass bowl. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Whisk to blend. Drizzle over bread pudding.

Steps:

• Place bread in a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Combine water and brown sugar; pour over bread. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over bread. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Bread Pudding
• Grease a rectangular glass baking dish. (I used a narrow and deep 3 qt baker. A wider and shallower baker may require you to drop the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.)
• Spread the bread pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
• Melt the 5 Tbsp of butter and set aside. (I use the microwave on a low power setting to avoid washing a saucepan.)
• In a 2-3 quart bowl, ideally with a pour spout, mix the eggs and sugar, then add in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Finally mix in the melted butter.
• Gently pour the contents of the bowl over the bread. Use a wide spatula to press the bread downward to soak up more of the liquid.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, removing from the fridge at least once, partway through, in order to mix the bread, mash it down and break it up a little more.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F and remove the baking dish from the fridge. Mix, mash and break up the bread one last time before placing it in the preheated oven to bake.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil for the final 15 minutes if the bread pudding seems to be getting too toasted.
• Let it cool at least 20 minutes before serving with the caramel sauce below, ice cream, or whipped cream.
• Caramel Sauce
• In a small saucepan, boil the butter, brown sugar, water, and salt for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract and 4-6 oz of evaporated milk until you reach slightly less than the thickness you prefer. (The caramel sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.) I used 6 ounces of evaporated milk. If I were adding bourbon, I would use less evaporated milk.
• Pour or funnel the sauce into a jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Extra sauce can be frozen in a plastic container.

Steps:

• Place the bread cubes in a 9 x 13 buttered glass pan.
• Sprinkle the raisins over the bread.
• Drizzle on the melted butter, do not mix into the bread cubes and raisins.
• Set this aside.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until broken up and blend in the sugars, nutmeg, half and half and the milk.
• DO NOT OVER BEAT THIS MIXTURE JUST COMBINE.
• Pour the mixture over the cubes and raisins and let it all soak in, gently patting the bread down into the milk every now and then.
• Sprinkle the top with a grating of more nutmeg.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the pudding for 50 minutes, checking about the 40 minute mark, that its not getting too brown-- If it is cover with foil loosely.
• Bake until pudding is puffy all over and golden.
• Remove to rack to cool.
• Sauce-- In a saucepot over med.
• heat, melt the butter, and brown sugar.
• Bring to a boil, and remove from the heat.
• Whisk in the salt, vanilla, and milk.
• The sauce can be made ahead, then warmed in the microwave-- Cut cooled pudding into squares, and top each with hot sauce.
