Bread Pudding recipe needed.

[polkanut]

With all of the great cooks here @ AW.org I thought I would ask all of you for a good old-fashioned bread pudding recipe. I need a recipe large enough to fill a 2 1/2 quart Pyrex bowl, and it must have raisins also. Thanks for your help guys (and gals).

Here's a great(and easy)one by Mr. Food

Georgia Bread Pudding

1 cup sugar
1 can(12 oz. evaporated milk)
2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup butter(melted)
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
9 slices of white bread with crusts, cut into cubes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar, evaporated milk, and egg yolks. Add the melted butter, raisins, vanilla extract and spices; mix well. Add the bread cubes and toss to saturate. Pour mixture into a greased(use butter wrapper to grease pan) 8" square baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes until pudding is lightly browned and set. Let cool before cutting.(This pudding will get firm and be easier to cut when cool). Cut into squares, reheat slightly in the microwave before serving. Great topped with whipped cream.

Enjoy!

Here is my recipe for bread pudding, it is actually from the book Rival Crock-Pot Cusine, but when I dont have the time I bake it in the oven.

1 cup butter or oleo, soft
2 cups sugar

8 eggs
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
6 cups toasted bread cubes
1/3 cup raisins

In a mixing bowl beat oleo, sugar, cinnamon with mixer, add eggs and beat until fluffy. Fold in pineapple, raisins, bread cubes. pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or pour into a greased crock-pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours

My recipe...

I use about 6 to 8 leftover homemade biscuits,1 cup sugar,about 2 tsp cinnamon and a teaspoon of nutmeg,maybe a splash of vanilla,1 egg,enough canned milk to cover bread well, bake at 350 till set,I usually add raisins,about 1/2 cup or so.

Make it easy-

start with Pepperidge Farm (or similar) cinnamon-raisin bread, Cubing the bread is very easy...stack 3-4 slices, and cut with electric knife. Use 3/4 cup of sugar in the custard. Light brown sugar, packed, is a very good change. For the custard, I use 2 beaten eggs, and about 2 cups of half-and-half, nicely combined, with the sugar. I use my Braun stick blender for a few seconds. (For the benefit of our friends overseas, half and half is approximately "single cream.") and a spoon of vanilla.
Put the cubed bread into the dish, and pour the custard over evenly. Apply a lot of small dots of butter to the top. Be sure to spray/butter the dish!

Bake in a water bath, 350F, until set and browned on top, about 45 minutes.

it must have raisins also

My mom's recipe didn't have raisins in it. I didn't know for years that it was "spoze" to as far as "official" bread pudding. I avoid recipes that have raisins in it. So I won't be posting my recipe, but it does nicely with a 2.5 quart casserole or larger.

Is the BEST! Especially served with a hard sauce.

I'll have to lookup the recipe.

Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe

This isn't my recipe, but it is close. White bread works fine
too.

Ingredients
•1 (1-pound) loaf French or Italian bread, cubed
•3 cups milk
•1/4 cup heavy cream
•1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur
•1 cup sugar
•1 cup packed light brown sugar
•1/4 cup cocoa powder
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•2 teaspoons almond extract
•1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
•6 eggs, lightly beaten
•8 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated
•Whipped cream (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and place the bread in the dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur. Using another bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder and mix well. Add the sugar mixture to the milk mixture and mix well. Add the vanilla and almond extract, and cinnamon to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture to the milk mixture and mix well.

Stir the grated chocolate into the mixture. Pour the mixture over the cubed bread in the pan. Let the mixture stand, stirring occasionally for approximately 20 minutes or until bread absorbs most of the milk mixture. Bake pudding for 1 hour or until set. Check pudding by inserting a knife through the middle and it should come out clean.

Hard Sauce

1/2 c. butter
2 c. powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. boiling water
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. brandy or rum or whiskey(yum)

Cream together butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. When pudding is cooked, pour sauce over the top and bake another 10 to 15 minutes. Poke a few holes in top of pudding to allow sauce to go down into the pudding.
