Hi,
I haven't check this group in a while so maybe what I am looking for is
already here.
Does anyone have a recipe for Cranberry Bread Pudding or a good recipe for
plain bread pudding.
Thanks

Plain Bread Pudding

Take day old white bread, preferably crusty bread, butter each slice on
both sides. Layer in bread pan, starting with bread, adding brown
sugar and if desired, raisins or currants, bread, sugar (again fruit if
desired), bread. Add 1 beaten egg and a cup of scalded milk.

Bake at 325F for 30 minutes or until top is medium golden brown. Serve
with maple syrup of your choice.

One egg to a cup of dairy seems kind of skimpy to me. I also don't see why
you would have to scald the milk. I like one egg per half cup of dairy,
preferably half and half or light cream. I also like to let the bread soak
in the mix for a while before baking. Instead of white bread, I like
challah or brioche. Day old cinnamon rolls are another good choice. (I
recently saw a version made with day old Krispy Cream doughnuts!) I would
also add some vanilla or some bourbon.

Debate as you might, the poster requested a plain bread pudding
recipe, not a Cordon Bleu concoction or a Kalifornia kweezeen
variation. What I did was provide a plain bread pudding recipe. You
are free to provide your own, but be advised that my mother made this
simple recipe every time she made bread pudding and strangely enough,
no one pointed to flaws in the design, perhaps because it is what it
is, a plain bread pudding recipe.

As for egg to dairy, those were her measurements and they always
worked out fine.

I didn't say it wouldn't work. I just don't think it would be very good.
Wonder bread, milk, one egg and some sugar - not my idea of bread pudding.
Most people tend to accept what they grow up with, so I have no doubt that
your family found your mother's bread pudding acceptable. You have to do a
lot to that before you cross into Cordon Bleu territory. I still don't see
any reason the scald the milk when you are making custard.

What you did was provide a typical UK-style "Bread and Butter Pudding"
recipe, which is one of my favorites and also my preference over the
typical "bread pudding". Bread Pudding seldom specifies whole slices of
bread spread with butter and layered. More often than not, it specifies
smallish cubes of bread or even bread that has been soaked, then squeezed
nearly dry and then beaten into the egg/milk/cream custard.

Obviously you haven't tried it, so how would you know?

I said day-old crusty, not Wonderbread. Getcher facts straight, if
you're going to insist on starting arguments.

bread pudding acceptable.

More than acceptable. I have eaten others more like those you have
suggested and not liked them better. It isn't because it's my
mother's, it's because it's good.

You have to do a lot to that before you
cross into Cordon Bleu territory.

Who would want to do THAT? For one thing I said that it WASN'T a
Cordon Bleu recipe. So why bring it up?

I still don't see any reason the
scald the milk when you are making custard.

Ok, you don't.

King's Hawaiian bread is also good.

Did that make your teeth curl or what? It was unwatchable. And
when she made a glaze with a box of powdered sugar and poured it over
the pudding, I had to leave the room.

I found it surreal. Much of the food that she has is over-the-top in my

I know. I put her show on because I find her endearing, but I have
not often been tempted to try her recipes. Too sweet or too much
butter. I like butter and sweet desserts as much as anyone, but
I have my limits.

She was funny in the Krispy Kreme store, getting 20 donuts in a box
meant for 12. Made me laugh, anyway. Goofy.

I watch her because of her personality and the goofy things she does - and
because PBS is still showing quilting and woodworking shows at that time on
Saturday monings. Much of her food fits into that new "semi-homemade"
category and doesn't appeal to me. I wonder if that's how they do thing in
her restaurant? I love sweet desserts, but I tend to draw the line at
glazed Krispy Kream doughnuts. They do make my teeth hurt! And that recipe
had sweetened condensed milk in addition to the doughnuts!

I have an *UN*plain bread pudding recipe. Just had this last week.
Hard sauce is good, too... but the Amaretto sauce is great.

Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce
(makes 12 -or more- servings)

1 loaf stale french bread, cut or torn into 2" pieces.
6 eggs
1 quart milk (or half-n-half is much better)
1/2 cup Sugar, I used 1/2 brown 1/2 white, and a little more.
2 tbs amaretto, (I use more)
1 cup raisins, or chopped dried apricots, I used more
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 lb semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of cinnamon mixed with a little sugar
1 batch Amaretto Sauce, see below

Amaretto sauce
1 stick butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup or more of amaretto, or other liqueur.

Bread Pudding:
Preheat oven to 375. soak bread in milk. Add sugar, vanilla, and
dried fruit (soak fruit in amaretto - I use enough liquid to cover
fruit and stir it occasionally, and add all to recipe). Add eggs (I
whip them up before adding), and chocolate chips, chopped nuts if
wanted. Mix lightly, and pour into a well buttered 9x13 baking dish.
Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mix on top.

Bake for 30-45 minutes, till it gets a little crispy on top. Remove
from oven. While hot, poke holes in pudding with the end of a wooden
spoon. Pour hot Amaretto Sauce over bread pudding to penetrate the
pudding as well as glaze the top.

Amaretto Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add sugar, stirring
constantly. Whisk in amaretto and heat slowly for one or two minutes.
