PRALINE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tins with the butter.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla together. Whisk in the cream and milk. Fold in the bread and pralines. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Spoon the filling into each muffin tin. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is firm. Serve the pudding with the Anglaise sauce.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, and water. Place over a medium-high heat and stir constantly until the pralines reach the softball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F. Add the pecans to the candy, and pull the pan off the stove. Continue to stir the candy vigorously with a wooden spoon until the candy cools, and the pecans remain suspended in the candy, about 2 minutes. Spoon the pralines out onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined sheet pan and cool completely before serving.
• Heat the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla bean in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof mixing bowl and beat until pale yellow in color and all of the sugar has dissolved. Temper about a half cup of the cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk vigorously to incorporate well. Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the cream mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, or wooden spoon. Be sure to stir in the corners of the pot and lower the heat slightly. Stir the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes or until the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from the stove and strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Place the bowl in another bowl half-filled with ice and water to cool the custard. To chill the custard faster, stir it occasionally with a spoon.

PRALINE APPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
• Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat together the granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until combined; raise speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, nutmeg, baking powder, soda, and salt; gradually add to sugar/sour cream mixture on low speed until combined.
• By hand, stir in the chopped apple and 1/2 cup of the pecans.
• Turn batter into the greased loaf pan; sprinkle with the remaining chopped pecans and press nuts lightly into the batter.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; if bread is turning too brown, cover top of the bread loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• While bread is cooling, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat combine the butter and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer gently for 1 minute to make caramel topping.
• Remove bread from pan; drizzle top with the caramel and let cool.
• Serve and enjoy!

PECAN BREAD

Steps:

• Adjust a rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a full-sized loaf pan (approximately 9" X 5" X 3") and line with parchment paper that slightly extends above the top edge of the pan, all the way around (see notes above the recipe for more detailed explanation). Set aside.
• In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the butter, brown sugar, and salt. Allow to start melting and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans until well combined. Set aside to slightly cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, blend together the buttermilk, oil, and sugar until well-incorporated. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the finely chopped toasted pecans.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly pour about two-thirds of the pecan praline mixture over the top. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the pecan praline mixture into the bread, only going about halfway down into the batter (not all the way to the bottom). Pour the remaining pecan praline mixture over the top without swirling.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Lay a piece of foil over the top of the bread (so that the pecans on top don't burn) and then bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean (but be careful not to overbake).
• When the bread tests done, remove it from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper sling to carefully lift the bread out of the pan and onto the cooling rack. You may gently peel back the parchment paper once the bread has cooled a bit more.

PRALINE LIQUEUR BREAD

Steps:

• Combine pecans and 1/4 cup praline liqueur; cover and set aside overnight.
• Cream butter and gradually add sugar, beating well.
• Add vanilla; beat well.
• Add eggs and milk, beating well.
• Combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, stirring well.
• Stir in pecan mixture.
• Pour batter into two greased 7 1/2x3x2 inch loaf pans.
• Bake at 325°F for 55 minutes or until wooden toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool in pans 10 minutes.
• Remove from pans; place on wire racks to cool completely.
• Drizzle 1/4 cup praline liqueur evenly over each cooled loaf.
• Allow to season for 3 days before serving.

PRALINES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In large saucepan over medium heat, combine pecans, sugar, butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.

PRALINE FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Generously butter a rectangular baking dish (13 x 9 x 2 1/2 inches); use the prettiest one you have. Set out a large shallow pan for the water bath. Cut the bread across into 3/4-inch-thick slices. If you are not using a braided bread, cut slices into four triangles each. Arrange bread slices in rows, leaning and overlapping them, if necessary.
• 2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on high until light golden and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Beat in the cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg. Pour over the bread in the dish, lifting the bread up slightly to pour between the slices and letting the custard soak in (this is important; see The Junior's Way).
• 3. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, combine all praline topping ingredients, except syrup. Using your hands, spread the mixture over the top of the soaked challah, pushing some down between the slices. Cover the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and drizzle the maple syrup over the top. Place the dish in the center of a larger pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it comes 1 inch up the side of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is puffy, souffléd, and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes (don't let it overbake or get too brown). Touch it: The top should be spongy, not dry or crusty. The bread pudding is best served piping hot, right out of the oven.
