BREAD MAKER DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Place the milk and egg into the pan of your automatic bread machine, and add the butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in that order, with the yeast on top. Select the dough setting, and start the machine.
• When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough to a floured work surface, and knead a few times to collapse all the bubbles. Cut the dough into 16 pieces, cover them with a damp cloth, and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Stretch each ball out into a disk about 1/4 inch thick, and use a small cutter to cut a hole in the center (I used the top of a salt shaker; a bottle top works good too). Let the doughnuts rise on the floured surface until doubled, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Gently place a few doughnuts at a time into the hot oil, and fry until they float to the top and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the doughnuts over, and fry on the other side. Remove from the oil, and drain on paper towels.

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 WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 3-quart oval baking dish.
• Put the doughnuts and bread into a very large bowl and mix to combine.
• In a separate bowl, add the cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs and mix until well combined. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the doughnuts. Mix well and slightly press into the prepared baking dish. Bake until golden brown with a firm consistency, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grease a baking sheet with the oil and lay out the slices of bacon on top, making sure they don't overlap. Bake on another rack in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then dice into small pieces.
• Cut the bread pudding into small rounds using a 3-inch round cutter. Place on round plates, topping each with the crispy bacon and a dollop of whipped cream.
• Reserve any remaining bread pudding for another use or just eat the scraps!
