Bread Pudding

2 cups Dry Bread (broken up, left over sweet rolls or toast.)
4 cups Milk
4 Eggs
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Raisins

Beat together milk, eggs, sugar and Vanilla, raisins and salt. Pour over bread or what ever you are using. Pour in a warmed and oiled 10" Dutch Oven. Sprinkle a little Nutmeg over the pudding. bake for 1 hour or when a knife inserted comers out clean. Lemon sauce, whipped cream or half and half can be served with this dish. Warm or cold its a great dish. 10 briquettes in a Volcano, and be sure not to put any heat in the center of the dutch oven. 8 bottom and 12 top if using your dutch oven table. In your oven at home 350 degrees for about an hour. The smell will tell you when its done.:wings: :wings: :wings:

If it wasn't breakfast, I'd recommend a sauce of melted butter with a couple of tablespoons of whisky to go on top of it.

For breakfast, there's no much difference between bread pudding and french toast so real maple syrup might add a touch.

I like to make a Mexican style bread pudding, capirotada. The key difference is that instead of an milk and egg custard/moistener, it uses a spiced brown sugar syrup, made with raw sugar cones (piloncillo). It is best with lots of dried fruit, nuts, and even cheese. While there are recipes on the web and in books, it is just as easy to make it by 'feel'. Cooking temperature and time isn't critical either since you aren't trying to 'set' a custard.

Pudding Infredients:

4 cups plain white french bread (best choice) or 8 slices of slightly stale sliced bread

1/2 cup raisins

2 cups milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1 tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg



Sauce Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup heavy Whipping Cream

1 tablespoon vanilla

in the oven put the bread and raisins, mix up the milk and butter in another oven or pan or whatever and cook it for a couple minutes, then pour over bread and let stand a few minutes. then stir in all remaining ingredients.

i make the sauce seperate, bring all less vanilla to medium boil to thicken then add vanilla.

If you're not hellbent on baking your own go down to Nothing To It on Crummer Lane and get some of their handmade Cranberry Bread Pudding (they include some of their whiskey sauce too)...and just tell everyone you made it :xxrotflma

If you haven't had it beware: It is simply the best bread pudding I have ever had!

We'll have to try it out.

I was wanting a nice desert for a fall trip I plan to go on. I think hand made would go over better with that crowd. Of course I would have vitamin Z to go with it.

So the basic custard is 1 cup of milk and around 1/4 cup sugar per egg.
I like more bread than custard so about two cups of bread.

I think the key will be getting some great vanilla extract or better a good vanilla bean.

I would test run one of these this weekend except for the stinking fire restrictions.

Maybe the first night when we are in a developed camp ground?

No charcoal fires anywhere in the Sierra's right now.

This may be a job for the "Home/Camp" test kitchen.

I have heard of folks that put the food into aluminum cooking tins and raise the tin up off the bottom and get it as high as they can and cook over low stove flame. I use a camp chef 3, and cook stews and soups in my DO when I can use wood flame, but gas flame or gas BBQs are ok. I have a horseshoe rack I place on the bottom for some of the things I cook, I may try this myself this weekend when I am not do this on the jeep:Mechanic:
