Bread Pudding In The Lido

[mamaofami]

The bread pudding was delicious. I never would have tasted it if someone hadn't mentioned it here on these boards. Anyone have a recipe?

 

Hope this doesn't post twice. It disappeared the first time.

Thanks! :)

 

That must be more than my daily allotment of calories. No wonder it's so delicious!:D

I've been baking for years and never heard of a warm water bath. What is it? How do you do it?

[lovn2liv]

Take a pan larger than the dish you'll be baking the pudding in and fill it a little less than half way with water...enough so that when you place the baking dish in that pan with water, the water doesn't spill over.

 

This allows moisture to circulate in the oven and won't dry out the bread pudding.

 

It's almost like having a double boiler but in the oven.

 

Hope this helps.

You need a pan that is at least several inches on all sides larger than the pan in which you are baking the pudding. Fill it with warm water to a depth that reaches half way up the sides of your pudding pan that has been placed into the larger pan. Then place the pans in the oven.

Sorry.......

Thank you so much for the recipe! Now, if I can find the one for no sugar added chocolate mousse, my day will be complete! :rolleyes:

A Taste of Excellence cookbook has Chef Rudi's Famous White Chocolate Toque Filled with Silky Bittersweet Choclate Mousse recipe but it does not have the no sugar added mousse recipe. Sorry.
