Bread Pudding Recipe  

August 15, 2009 | By kapratt | No Comments »

My bread pudding recipe has been a family tradition at holidays for as long as I can remember. The funny thing about is I had this recipe I used for 5-6 years that had the bread pudding, and a nice sauce over the top that made it “extra” good. Since I only made it at holidays it wasn’t exactly a recipe I had in my head. Then for some reason I lost it and couldn’t find it the following year. I made bread pudding, but it just wasn’t the same.

Everyone groaned and moaned about “the sauce”, but as hard as I tried I just couldn’t duplicate it. Just the other day I came across this long sought after recipe and decided to post it here online for all eternity (so I could never lose it again!). I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Ingredients you’ll need for bread pudding (and sauce)!

  • 3 cups bread cubes
  • 4 cups scalded milk
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

It’s pretty basic to make – just follow these steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Butter an 8×8 inch glass baking dish. Soak bread in hot milk for five minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

3. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 60 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

4. While pudding cools, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large saucepan. While stirring, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and stir 3 minutes more. Spoon over warm bread pudding.

There you have it! Bookmark this page, as far as I’m concerned this is the best bread pudding recipe ever (and I’ve used dozens!).
