Bread Pudding Recipe

[Islander58]

Hi, I just realized that we have an old HAL cookbook - with the original Bread Pudding recipe! I was thrilled and thought other sailors might be too! They have changed the recipe- but this is the original!

Can you retake the picture please?  I can't read it because of the angle of the camera.

 

Thanks,

I hope this is correct.

 

Classic Bread and Butter Pudding

 

1 ½ pounds good quality day-old sliced white bread, crusts trimmed and slices cut into cubes

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 quart whole milk

6 eggs, beaten

3 egg yolks, beaten

¾ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup raisins

 

Confectioner’s sugar for sprinkling

 

Preheat oven to 325 F.  Butter 8 ramekins with 12 ounce capacity or a 9 inch x 13 inch baking dish.  Have on hand a roasting pan large enough to hold the ramekins or baking dish, and line it with a folded kitchen towel.

 

Place bread cubes in a bowl and drizzle and toss with the melted butter.  Spread out on a baking dish and toast in the oven, stirring once, until lightly golden, about 8 - 10 mins.

 

In a saucepan bring milk to a simmer over medium heat.  Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk whole eggs, egg yolks and sugar until blended.  Gradually whisk in hot milk.  Stir in vanilla.

 

Divide half the bread cubes among your ramekins or layer in baking dish.  Top with half the raisins.  Cover with remaining bread cubes and raisins.  Ladle custard evenly over bread cubes and raisins.  Let stand until some of the custard is absorbed, about 20 mins.

 

Bring a large kettle of water to a boil.  Place ramekins or baking dish in large roasting pan and transfer to the oven.  Add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to reach half-way up the ramekins or baking dish.  Bake puddings in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes, or until puffed and just set.  Carefully remove roasting pan from oven and remove dishes.  Let cool slightly and serve while warm , sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar.

We haven't had bread pudding in ages.  And didn't realize it was available on HAL.

Fixed previous post for vanilla sauce.

 

Bread pudding is available at the Lido Market at either the ice cream counter or at the Bread Station (Rotterdam).  You have to ask for it.

I believe it should be 8oz of sugar and 4 cups of milk.  There definitely needs to be milk (or cream). I like to refrigerate for at least 8 hours before baking.  I also vary the type of bread.

Her Majesty says THANK YOU for the recipe.

 

It is always so good.  I've eaten certainly a full "Zaandam boat load" of it over the years and always enjoy. 

 

 

[jimbob22]

fwiw, based on eating some of it, the bread used looked like a brioche-type bread, actually looked very much like challah--a braided bread, typically kind of eggy. Challah also makes excellent French toast.

[Pickalily, Wilts]

I can see that you bread pudding fans are very happy with the recipe, but as a Brit there seems to be something vital that's missing.🙂  You may think that's heresy, but bear with me while I throw another ingredient into the mix..........

 

These days I prefer savoury to sweet food, but that wasn't always the case.  My grandma used to make a mean bread pudding and hers contained a few teaspoons of ground mixed spice (typically cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, caraway and one or two others).  The aroma in the kitchen was heavenly and the result didn't last very long once the family descended upon it.

 

Just a thought.

[DCThunder]

There's one ingredient missing from the vanilla sauce.  That is BOURBON!🥃

[puppycanducruise]

Thanks for the recipes.

I made a fabulous bread pudding on the weekend - used up my eggnog in place of the milk, added 1/3 cup spiced rum and nutmeg and made a whiskey sauce to pour over it!  *hick*

Great idea.

However, WHY was there any eggnog left!? 😱

😉

You sure you don't live in Nawlins?  That's fairly close so some French Quarter bread pudding concoctions.  If you ever have left over brioche or challah, try using that as the bread.

[KAKcruiser]

Do they ever make it without raisins?

Yes.  There is often two versions of bread pudding available.  One plain and one with raisins.

I actually used the leftover pantetone bread!

[SusieKIslandGirl]

And besides the vanilla sauce, the addition of a rum caramel sauce tops it off very well!

I love Bread Pudding and will try the aforementioned Holland America recipes. As for my favorite "go to" recipe in the past, I've always used the renowned Biltmore Bread Pudding recipe. This pdf magazine excerpt was from a 2007 publication which included the Biltmore Bread Pudding Recipe. Enjoy...it really is a classic!

Was on Niew Statendam a few weeks back. 

Interesting that the first few days of a back-to-back cruise, there were no raisins in the bread pudding. After that there were raisins in all batches.
