Bread Custard Pudding

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 1 Hr 30 Min

If you believe that the way to their hearts is through their stomachs, serve this along with a glass of cold milk or maybe some refreshing iced tea. You should enjoy this one while relaxing with the ones you love best!

What You'll Need

3 slices white bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

What to Do

Preheat the over to 350 degree F. Place the bread in a 11/2-quart casserole dish that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, butter, and salt; mix well. Pour over the bread and let sit for 5 minutes until absorbed by the bread. Place the casserole dish in a large baking pan of hot water, with just enough water to go halfway up the sides of the casserole dish.
Bake for 80 to 90 minutes, or until the top is set and golden. Carefully remove from the hot water bath and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. When ready to serve, sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.

Not a fan, sorry. I love brioche bread which stands up to the liquid. Chocolate chips and nutmeg added for warmth. Rum sauce over the top just finishes it off nicely. I tried it your way and it was just a mushy sweet mouthful.

I have never baked any bread pudding in a pan half full of water and it is always perfectly fine. This is a popular dessert in the south and we grew up with it. I don't recall my mom or her mother ever baking it in a pan of water either and it was great. We all did use some vanilla extract and a generous sprinkle of nutmeg which is wonderful.

I have always made my bread pudding in a large Pyrex bowl. Have never done the waterbath method and it has always turned out fine. My favorite is to add 1/3 cup cocoa powder to the liquid mixture. We would serve the chocolate version with a "hard sauce" much like a buttercream frosting. Yum!!!

We love it. I added 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. I gave it a lot of flavor.

One important thing to consider if you have an exposed heating element in your oven, use the. WAter bath method but if your heating element is. Underneath the oven floor. Just bake it without the water bath. Otherwise the bottom of the bread pudding will not firm up and will be soupy. I know because it happened to me

Definitely use day old bread at least, I keep the left over slices in freezer until enough to make one, add splash of vanilla, and cinnamon per your taste. YUMMY
