Bread Pudding Thanksgiving

12 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 -10 ciabatta, slices
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped maple walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1
    Grease 9x9 pan with butter and preheat oven to 350 f.
  2. 2
    Mix in a mixer or beat thoroughly : milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt to form thin custard.
  3. 3
    Add and mix by hand the remaining ingredients (cube or tear the bread first) into the liquid custard.
  4. 4
    (I always eyeball this part, mixing the wet and dry -- usually I add the dry ingredients to a bowl, then pour the liquid until it covers a little more than half with liquid- enough that if you press down, the top parts get moist but not wet.).
  5. 5
    Press lightly to encourage bread to absorb custard. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 6 hours, depending on how stale the bread is.
  6. 6
    Pour into lightly buttered/greased 9x9 pan.
  7. 7
    Bake in oven for 1/2 - 1 hour or until golden brown on top but of bread pudding consistency inside.
