Homemade Italian Bread

All right now to this butter , I'm gonna add one cup of whole milk and I'm gonna go ahead and put my sugar in there .

Now , you wanna cook this until it gets just slightly bubbly and the uh corn starch will thicken up this milk mixture .

You just wanna keep stirring it .

Now , something interesting .

I think about the rum .

The uh rum mostly comes from the uh Caribbean Island of Barbados and Barbados was settled really by the British and they found that they could grow the sugar cane there .

And so the whole island was just nothing but divided up .

Uh I think uh uh between about maybe 12 people , there were very large plantations and of course they had to have people to work the uh plantations .

And I think in the beginning they had indentured slaves or workers , whatever you call them from England .

And then they started importing uh slaves from West Africa to work the fields and you know , help with the harvesting of the sugar cane .

And of course , the English at this point decided they really liked sugar .

So the uh sugar was really called white gold at that point .

And it became very profitable for them So , I thought all that was very interesting and I think it was in probably the 17 hundreds when they first figured out how to make rum .

And so of course , the , uh , Caribbean Islands are still known for their rum .

And of course , that's how Rum ended up in New Orleans by way of the Caribbean Islands .

So , I don't know why most restaurants in New Orleans use a whiskey sauce on their bread pudding , but a few still use the rum sauce .

Now , I like the rum sauce a lot .

Lot better .

All right .

So we're gonna turn that burn up just a little bit .

Get this to thicken up some .

Yeah , I thought that was very interesting about the , uh , sugar cane industry in the Caribbean .

And I think they , uh , went from there to southern Louisiana because they had a similar temperature and , you know , the humidity factor as they do in the Caribbean in the southern part of Louisiana .

And of course , they grow a tremendous amount of sugar came there and they've got the , the , uh , Mississippi Delta where all that stuff washes down to Mississippi and makes that ground very , very rich because I think for sugar cane to grow , it has to have a very rich soil .

All right , it's gonna take just a few minutes for this to come up to , just to a bowl .

Now , this sauce is going to need 1/4 of cup of rum and this is just regular white rum .

The same one I used on the free cake at Christmas time .

So 1/4 of a cup of rum into this , I'm gonna add my little secret ingredient to greatly enhance the taste .

Just a little bit of molasses .

And what I do is just dip the spoon in there .

It's probably about a teaspoon and just put it down in the rum and just really kind of dissolve it as much as you can .

Now , this mixture here needs to be stirred right much because you don't want it to stick to the bottom and it will if you don't start .

So it's already getting thick .

I'm gonna turn my back down now to just medium low because I don't want to do a lot of boiling because of that milk .

So it's thickened up now .

And now we're gonna add the rum and rum on molasses mixture to that .

All right , and beat it in really fast .

Now , all the alcohol of course , evaporates out of this sauce .

You don't really have to worry about the alcohol .

The main thing is you're getting that rum flavoring taste in there , which is what I like .

Right .

So there's yourself .

All right .

Now , I'm gonna go ahead and have myself some bread pudding .

So I just think dip some out of salsa and then I'm just gonna put a little sauce on there and figure out a , I'll just use a gravy spoon .

OK .

Here it is just , boom , the sauce right over it .

I know this is hot but I have to taste of it .

Hm .

So , so good .

Oh , can I have another bite again ?

If you want to use the whiskey sauce on this ?

You would just substitute the bourbon for the rum .

Now , I think it's much , much better with the rum .

There you have it bread pudding with rum sauce .

All right .

See you next time .

With dough with eggs .

Look how beautiful eggs .

It's really , really nice .

And now this is a nice move and we go right inside of the oven , the stone inside and we put inside a cigar cook for 25 to 30 minutes .
