Steps:

• Slice the challah into about 1.5-cm (1/2-inch) slices, cut each slice in half, set aside. Butter a 32 x 20 x 6.5-cm (12.5 x 8 x 2.5-inch) oval baking dish and set aside.
• Lastly, arrange 3 sliced strawberries over the top of the pudding. Place baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan that it comes halfway up the sides of dish.
• or until just set in the center (use a skewer to test it), remove it from the oven and let stand in water bath for another 30-40 minutes. The pudding should be completely set, the custard should not be runny and the strawberries will be nicely roasted. Remove dish from pan.
• Sprinkle pudding with powdered sugar and serve. Spoon pudding into bowls or cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY BREAD PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the ingredients for the strawberry sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the strawberries start to break down but are still mostly chunky, and the sauce is starting to thicken up.
• Allow to cool to room temperature while you work on the next step. You can refrigerate this for up to two days.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts.
• Remove from the heat and let it cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. It doesn't need to be room temperature, but you don't want it super hot, either.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk together.
• Slowly (about ¼ cup at a time), whisk in the warm milk mixture. You want to slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs and whisk each addition really well before slowing adding the next addition. This will help to gently warm the eggs and combine them without cooking them. We do not want scrambled eggs, so go slowly!
• Continue slowly whisking in the warm milk until it is all combined with the eggs.
• Butter a 9x13 casserole dish.
• Cut the challah into 2" cubes and place in the prepared casserole dish.
• Pour the strawberry sauce over the bread cubes and toss a little to mix.
• Evenly pour the milk mixture over the bread and strawberries.
• Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently press the bread cubes down into the egg mixture. You don't need to smash them down. Just make sure they are squashed a little into the milk mixture.
• At this point, you can either refrigerate the bread pudding for up to 24 hours, or you can bake it right away.
• Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the bread is starting to turn golden. If you are baking after refrigerating it, make sure you bring the bread pudding up to room temperature while the oven preheats.
• Allow to cool. You can serve this warm, at room temperature, or you can refrigerate it and serve it cold.

JAM AND BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375*F. Butter a 9"x13" glass baking dish. Arrange half of the challah in the dish; tear the slices to fit. Spread 3/4 cup of the jam on top; cover with the remaining challah.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar, 2 1/2 cups milk and vanilla and pour over the challah; press to soak and brush with 4 tbls. of the butter. Cover with foil and bake for 24 minutes, removing the foil halfway through, until the pudding is set; remove from the oven.
• Preheat the broiler. Blend the remaining 1 tbls. of milk with the powdered sugar. Add the remaining butter and jam and stir until the glaze is smooth. Spread all but 1/4 cup of the glaze over the pudding and broil until the glaze is golden. Drizzle the bread pudding with the remaining glaze and serve. Enjoy!

• Meanwhile, hull and thickly slice strawberries. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 T sugar. Toss and set aside.
• When bread is toasted, reduce oven temperature to 325 and set a large roasting pan half filled with water on the middle rack to act like a water bath. Trim the crusts off the bread and slice diagonally in half to form triangles.
• Use the remaining 1 T butter to grease a 9x12 inch baking dish. Line the sides of the dish with pieces of bread, points up. Line the bottom of the dish with more bread. Stand the remaining bread, points up, wedged between the bottom slices. (Don't worry if there are some spaces in between the slices or if the pieces standing up are a bit leaned over).
• Scatter almonds and chocolate chips over the bread and between the slices. Lift the strawberries with a slotted spoon, leaving the juices behind, scatter them around the dish.
• In a large saucepan heat the half and half and the remaining 1 Cup of sugar over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
