French Toast Bread Pudding With Pumpkin Maple Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, place a small amount of butter or oil. Once butter is completely melted or oil is hot, working in batches, dunk Pumpkin Bread in French Toast Egg Custard, completely submerging the bread. Place bread a few pieces at a time in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 5 minutes. With a spatula, flip the bread and cook the other side. The bread is done when both sides are browned and the egg custard is cooked completely through. Repeat until all bread is cooked, adding more butter to skillet as needed.
• Put toast on a plate. Spread Sweet Cream Cheese on the top side of bread. Stack 2 pieces with cream cheese on top of each other, making sure to balance, making 6 servings. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the toast and serving plates or platter. Drizzle Allspice Dulce De Leche over the top of the toast. Top each stack with a candy pumpkin.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon). In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, oil and water). Turn mixer on low and mix wet ingredients. While mixer is on, slowly add dry ingredients until incorporated. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Turn off mixer.
• Grease a half sheet pan (18-x-13 inches) and top with greased side extenders.
• Pour in the pumpkin batter, making sure to spread evenly across pan. Lift the pan up and down, tapping it on the counter to remove air pockets and level the mixture.
• Bake for about 20 minutes with a low fan (convection). The bread is finished when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, or the bread springs back when lightly pressed. Cool bread.
• Remove sheet pan side extenders. Cut bread into 4-inch squares with a large knife or square cookie cutter.
• Combine eggs, cream, vanilla and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix with a whisk. Refrigerate if not using right away.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix cream cheese and butter on low speed. While still on low speed, add powdered sugar until completely combined. Add vanilla extract.
• Turn off mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl, making sure all ingredients are in the center of the bowl. Turn on mixer again and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Refrigerate until needed.
• Combine cream, sugar, baking soda and allspice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture is thick enough that you can see the bottom of the pan when stirred, about 1 hour. If the mixture boils over, turn down the heat and continue to mix.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. The sauce should be thick enough when cool to hold its shape.
