Bread Pudding

 

Ingredients:

Custard:    
    Sugar   1 Lb
    Eggs   16 Ea
    Vanilla   2 Oz
    Milk   2 Qt
Day Old Bread  
    Less Than 1/2 Hotel Pan / Or Rolls  

 

Method: 

  • Scald Milk.

  • Beat Eggs, Add Sugar, Vanilla, And Heated Milk.

  • Strain Through A China Cap Or Chinoise.

  • Dice Day Old Bread Into 1 Inch Cubes. Place Into A Full 2" Hotel Pan.

  • Pour The Strained Custard Mix On Top Of The Bread, And Pat Down So All Bread Is Moistened With The Liquid. Sprinkle The Top Lightly With Nutmeg.

  • Cover With Aluminum Foil  Place In Water Bath And Bake At 3500f For 45 Minutes.  Remove Foil And Continue To Bake Until Custard Is Set.

    Custard Is Set When A Paring Knife Inserted Into Pudding Comes Out Clean.

 

When Making This Pudding, Be Sure That:
  1. The Hotel Pan Used For Baking The Custard Is Flat. 

  2. The Roasting Pan Used For The Water Bath Is Flat.

  3. The Oven Rack Or Shelf The Custard Is Baked On Is Also Flat.

  4. Failure To Do So Will Result In A Pudding That Is Thick At One End And Over Cooked And Very Thin At The Other End.
