BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
• Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
• Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

CAKE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine butter and sugar briefly, just until it forms into a ball. Add eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and process until blended.
• Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Break up the doughnuts into 1-inch pieces and layer in the pan. Scatter the raisins over the top. Pour the egg mixture over the doughnuts; soak for 5 to 10 minutes. You will need to push doughnut pieces down during this time to ensure even coverage by egg mixture.
• Cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for additional 10 minutes to brown the top. The doughnut bread pudding is done when the custard is set, but still soft.
• Make the rum sauce: melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan, and take off the heat. Add confectioners' sugar to the melted butter and whisk to blend. Add rum, to taste. Pour the sauce over the bread pudding and allow to soak in.

CAKE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, line with parchment and spray again. Place the doughnut pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the eggs and whisk to combine so that it's all the same light yellow color. Let sit for 3 minutes and whisk again.
• Pour the custard mixture over the doughnut pieces. Gently, press down a few times to make sure all the doughnut pieces are wet with custard. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• In another bowl using a wooden spoon, mix together the brown sugar, butter and a pinch of salt. If it's loose, add more brown sugar until it gets crumbly. Sprinkle the top of the bread pudding with chunks of the sugar mixture.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or just until the bread pudding is only slightly jiggly in the center. To test, using an oven mitt, carefully grab the oven rack and give it a little shake. If the middle sloshes around, it's not done. If it gives a firm jiggle, it's done.
• Serve warm, cold or at room temperature, topped with ice cream.

DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish.

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish, to prevent drying.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
