Doughnut Bread Pudding With Crispy Bacon Recipes

DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish.
• Tear the donuts into bite-size pieces. Combine donut pieces and raisins in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish, to prevent drying.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

OFFICE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Cut doughnuts into quarters, then soak in the mixture for 15 minutes.
• Grease six 6-inch ramekins with butter. Divide the filling among the ramekins, then place the ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch pan with warm water coming halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil, then bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes. Serve with Frozen Berry Goo.
• Combine berries, juice, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until the berries break down and it becomes a drizzleable sauce, about 10 minutes.

DOUGHNUT AND BACON EGGNOG BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut parchment paper and place in 8 x 8 pan, so that the pan's entire surface is covered. (If you forget this step you will be very, very sad... so don't forget it! Trust me, you will thank me later.) Note that a little nonstick spray will help hold the paper to the pan.
• Mix together eggs, nutmeg, eggnog and salt and whisk until well mixed and it develops a good froth... 2 minutes.
• Place doughnut pieces in prepared cake pan and sprinkle bacon bits among the doughnut pieces. Pour egg/eggnog mixture over doughnut & bacon pieces. Gently press down to make sure doughnuts remain submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and set in refrigerator for 3 hours... or better yet, overnight!
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Combine cream cheese, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. DO NOT refrigerate!
• Once the oven is at temperature, remove pudding from refrigerator, remove plastic wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Once done, place on cooling rack for 10 minutes and then remove from pan (see, I told you that you would thank me for the parchment paper) and place on a cake platter.
• Drizzle or 'frost' pudding with cream cheese topping, scatter pecans on top, slice and serve.

BREAD PUDDING KRISPY KREME

Steps:

• Grease pan. Cut each doughnut into pieces. Place in bottom of pan.
• In bowl, beat together eggs and milk.
• In separate bowl, stir together nutmeg and cinnamon (equal parts), sugar, vanilla and raisins. Spread atop doughnuts. Pour egg mixture over all. Stir and let sit about 30 minutes; stir again.
• Bake in 350° oven 20-30 minutes, until pudding is brown.
• NOTE that doughnuts cut better if refrigerated 2-3 days prior.

KRISPY KREME DONUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat 9x13 baking pan lightly with Pam or similar.
• Cut donuts into 8 pieces and place in baking pan.
• Combine all ingredients except for glaze in medium bowl and whisk together.
• Pour mixture over donuts in baking pan and let sit in fridge for 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap. Can let sit over night if you can. If that is possible, use glass pan and not metal.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees when close to removal time from fridge.
• Using a spatula, flip donuts over in pan and compress to ensure they are covered in mixture and fairly uniform depth.
• Remove plastic wrap from pan and replace with aluminum foil and place in oven for 35 minutes.
• Remove foil after 35 minutes and bake for at least 10 minutes until top starts to turn golden and the mix starts to puff up.
• Remove from oven.
• Combine milk and confectioner's sugar in small bowl and whisk together.
• Drizzle over top of donut mix with tablespoon.
• Serve warm and vanilla ice cream is a great complement to this.
• You can half the entire recipe and bake in 9x9 baking pan and the bake time is about 10% faster.
