RUSTIC BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bread Pudding
• Grease a rectangular glass baking dish. (I used a narrow and deep 3 qt baker. A wider and shallower baker may require you to drop the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.)
• Spread the bread pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
• Melt the 5 Tbsp of butter and set aside. (I use the microwave on a low power setting to avoid washing a saucepan.)
• In a 2-3 quart bowl, ideally with a pour spout, mix the eggs and sugar, then add in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Finally mix in the melted butter.
• Gently pour the contents of the bowl over the bread. Use a wide spatula to press the bread downward to soak up more of the liquid.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, removing from the fridge at least once, partway through, in order to mix the bread, mash it down and break it up a little more.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F and remove the baking dish from the fridge. Mix, mash and break up the bread one last time before placing it in the preheated oven to bake.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil for the final 15 minutes if the bread pudding seems to be getting too toasted.
• Let it cool at least 20 minutes before serving with the caramel sauce below, ice cream, or whipped cream.
• Caramel Sauce
• In a small saucepan, boil the butter, brown sugar, water, and salt for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract and 4-6 oz of evaporated milk until you reach slightly less than the thickness you prefer. (The caramel sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.) I used 6 ounces of evaporated milk. If I were adding bourbon, I would use less evaporated milk.
• Pour or funnel the sauce into a jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Extra sauce can be frozen in a plastic container.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread and toast them with the buttered side up. Watch carefully as not to burn.
• Stand bread slices upright to cool-- do not stack as they will stick together-- When toast is cool and dry, trim off crusts and cut into triangles.
• Arrange in a deep 10 inch cake pan, in a spiral overlapping, with the points up. There will be an empty space in the centre.
• Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
• Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the milk in a saucepot, over medium heat.
• Note: If using extract, do not put it in the milk here, scald the milk alone.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, remaining sugar, salt and vanilla extract if been used, until smooth and lemon coloured-- about one minute.
• With mixer on low, and in a stream add the scalded milk-- now remove the vanilla bean.
• With a ladle pour as much of this custard into the centre of the cake pan, careful not too overflow-- let stand and keep adding more, as its been soaked inches.
• Bake in a hot 400°F oven in a hot water bath-- for about 40 minutes until pudding is firm and puffed and golden brown-- Remove and place on a rack to cool.
• Sauce-- Put butter in a pot, and pour in the sugar.
• DO NOT STIR Over medium heat allow sugar to caramelize slowly--should take 10 minutes or so.
• Stir when mixture is a nice brown colour and bubbling.
• Continue until its a dark golden brown-- Stir in small amounts of the cream, it will harden up-- but then will go back to a liquid, or a thick syrup-- Strain through a sieve, and keep hot in a warm water bath, until needed.
• To serve-- cut the cake into ten portions, as you would a pie-- using a knife and a pie lifter to remove, as not to loose any custard-- Pour some sauce over each.
