INDIVIDUAL APPLE BREAD PUDDINGS WITH SPICED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the cranberries, whiskey, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and soak until the cranberries are soft, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, let the ice cream sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 30 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl, then fold in the pumpkin spice. Cover and refreeze the ice cream.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins and put them on a baking sheet.
• Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, apples, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Reserve 1 cup of bread cubes and add the remaining bread to the bowl with the egg mixture. Stir to combine and allow the bread to soak for at least 30 minutes. Add the cranberry mixture to the bread mixture and mix well, then spoon into the prepared ramekins. Toss the remaining bread cubes with the melted butter, then top the puddings evenly with the bread cubes. Bake the puddings until just set but still loose in the centers, about 20 minutes. Let the puddings rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve the puddings warm with a scoop of the spiced ice cream.

INDIVIDUALIZED BREADS FOR KIDS AND ADULTS

Steps:

• As best you can, coax each piece of bread into a diameter which is 1/2inch thick. Cut or grate the cheese of choice into manageable pieces and scatter them on half of the dough, leaving an inch of the outside edge blank. Top with ham and/or seasonings of choice and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil on the filling. Fold unfilled half of the bread over to cover the filling and press all around the edges to seal. Sprinkle some drops of olive oil on dough and, with your fingers, spread the oil over the entire top surface of the dough. Set individual stuffed breads on a lightly oiled or nonstick baking pan. Let the breads rise, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until doubled.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes (if fillings ooze out a bit, don't worry). Cool the breads on a wire rack until lukewarm or room temperature. Serve with a crisp green salad.
• Stuffing possibilities for each bread: 2 ounces of a melting cheese mozzarella for kids, goat's or fontina for adults plus 1 ounce of sliced prosciutto or smoked ham .
• Seasonings for cheese: hot peppers, sliced pimentos, anchovy fillets; capers, scallions, or cooked onions; garlic, sliced black olives; snipped fresh basil, or parsley, dab of pesto or black olive paste, sundried tomatoes or anything you can think of.
