Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , melted
- Unsalted butter (for pan)
- 10 glazed yeast donuts
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Dixie Crystals light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons Dixie Crystals sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Dixie Crystals Powdered sugar , for dusting
- Bourbon Caramel Sauce , for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut donuts into eighths and arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping once, until they are crispy. Set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Using a brush, paint a 2-quart baking dish with melted butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric whisk, blend together eggs, yolks, half & half, milk, brown sugar, extract and salt until bubbly and frothy.
- Add cooled donut pieces to the custard mixture, tossing. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Repeat tossing and sitting 2 more times to try and get the donuts to absorb as much custard as possible.
- Transfer the donut pieces and custard to prepared baking dish.
- Dollop peach preserves all over the top.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle on top of the custard and donuts.
- Bake, uncovered, for 55-60 minutes or until the center custard has set, edges are browned and donuts are puffy. Internal temperature of bread pudding should be 160°F.
- Remove and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar and then scoop onto serving plates. Drizzle with the Bourbon Caramel Sauce.
