Instructions
- Bread Pudding Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick baking spray.
- Place the cubed apple chai bread into the baking dish.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the butter, eggs, cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Beat well.
- Pour the egg custard mixture evenly over the top of the bread pieces. Gently press the bread into the custard.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the bread.
- Bake for 38-42 minutes. The bread pudding is done when it is starting to brown, and the bread springs back when you gently press it.
- Serve warm with crème anglaise, whipped cream, or ice cream.
- Vanilla Crème Anglaise Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, simmer half and half and vanilla extract over medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until smooth.
- Remove ½ cup of the warm half and half from the saucepan and slowly whisk into the egg and sugar mixture.
- Gradually add the egg mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously as you add it in.
- Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
- Pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Can I use freshly made bread? Most bread pudding uses stale bread, but this recipe works well with fresh bread or bread that is several days old.
- Can I use a different kind of bread? The custard for this bread pudding will work well with our apple chai bread, and other soft breads, like banana bread, pumpkin bread, and brioche.
- How do I store leftovers? If you have leftover bread pudding then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- What is crème anglaise? Crème anglaise is a custard-based sauce. With a flavor similar to vanilla pudding, and a consistency of a pouring sauce, it makes the perfect accompaniment to bread pudding.
- Why is my crème anglaise lumpy? It is normal for the custard to have some texture, but if there are large lumps then it has been overheated. Process with a handheld immersion blender for 15-45 seconds to smooth the custard.
