How We Make Bread Pudding - Old Fashioned Southern Cooks!

I got some old bread .

I'm thinking about making some bread .

That's pretty much it .

Unless I whip up this .

Uh .

Right .

I could do that .

Do you want me to make a break ?

Sure you do .

Um , if I do the break hoodie right quick , then what we're gonna do is , um , I don't have great recipe in front of me and I don't have it wrote down later .

Yeah .

Yeah .

Yeah , I did .

I got it in my hand .

Baby .

All home .

This is my cookbook organizer that I've used before I started this show .

You'll see green bread cutting right there .

And so that's what we might drop .

So let's get over here and just get it started .

Yeah , she's got a cup of sugar , which is a cup and you got three eggs and I like to use more eggs .

Ok .

Because I like for it to be more like a custard .

I want to use four eggs .

We're gonna use a half a step of a , half a stick of butter , two cups of milk .

So I'm gonna melt the butter in the microwave .

Just happen to have some handy dandy butter right here and it's room temperature .

I think I'm just , I might , could just mix it up .

Iim , I think we can turn them beans off .

Ok .

It's been 15 minutes now .

I'm gonna show you something real quick .

Uh , about this most pressure cookers , you know , got the little thing that is on the top and you can release some of the pressure if you move it .

This one has this on the handle so you can kind of pull back and start letting some of it out if you want to .

Now , I don't want to , I want my beans to sit at pressure and come all the way down because I just have to get softer .

OK ?

And when your beans are finished , it's really smart after the pressure is off to look at them and make sure they're completely covered with water before you let them soak for an hour .

Otherwise half of your beans will turn soft and half of them will still be hard and that is no fun .

OK ?

So let's make a quick bread pudding with this bread .

I got left over .

I know that that the whole , but maybe she put it on the bread or something .

I don't know .

No .

And for how much you make it right ?

She's got five biscuits and gray had little biscuits .

I'm gonna use , I will use five pieces of this loaf bread .

This is butter bread , uh real old fashioned butter bread .

I bought it for mom and of course she never ate it .

So we're about to make something out of it and we'll chop it up and I'm using a bread knife .

That's why it's cutting so easy .

We're gonna cook it in the oven .

Yes .

You turn it on .

Um , well , you can wait .

We're gonna let it soak for a while .

We're gonna let it soak before we make it .

Bread pudding is always better if you let it soak at least let it soak 20 minutes .

You can let it soak up to an hour .

And if you do that , then when you cut into it , it's gonna be more like an egg custard pie where it's gonna stand firm and look real good .

I mean , so you want to do that ?

Trust me , you just do .

Now I don't want to cook my eggs with my hot butter .

So what I'll do is add my milk , then add my butter .

So there's some vanilla and they see good .

Let me grab some vanilla .

Do you want um anything in it ?

Last time ?

We used cinnamon and my sugar , brown .

You use brown sugar or regular sugar .

Last time I use both half and half .

Let me grab the sugar .

Yeah , four eggs .

Some vanilla .

This is cheaper vanilla .

So I use more .

We're gonna use um Now this is not real , real sweet because we , we put in one cup .

This is a half a cup .

So we're gonna use a half , a cup of brown sugar and a half a cup of white sugar granulated .

Of course , I'm gonna mix this up .

We're pouring the butter about like making a pie .

We're gonna put in some nutmeg .

It's just my fave and y'all don't have to eat it if you don't want to .

My granny would have or my momma would have never put me in nothing but boy , do I love it , love it .

All right .

We're gonna get some milk out this skin milk .

That's what we drink .

Now , what else was I gonna get cinnamon ?

Do I have ?

OK .

I was thinking I don't have a whole lot of cinnamon .

I cinnamon sugar for we we had a cinnamon toast this morning for breakfast .

I think it was my lash cut over here .

So we're gonna put in two cups of milk .

One OK ?

A little bit of cinnamon and of course this is to your taste .

Any spice like this should be how , how you like it ?

And I don't , I'm only gonna use like this is a quarter teaspoon .

That's really all I want in here .

So I got about a quarter teaspoon of nut egg and about a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon in here .

So I don't use a whole lot .

I wanna taste the eggs .

I wanna taste the bread .

I don't want to just taste the spice .

OK ?

So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna put it in a baking dish .

We're gonna spray our baking dish and um , we're gonna bake it .

Granny said butter , the dish with butter .

So I'm gonna use this butter .

We're gonna butter out butter .

It , be generous with your butter .

So the rest of the stick of butter we could just put on the dish and then just hope you get a piece that's close to the right .

No , I'll use some of the rest of it .

Maybe it poured over the top or something because I can't get all this butter in there .

Ok .

These in here .

Yeah .

Now my butter is salted .

Anytime you make something sweet , it should have a little salt in it .

But since I'm using salted butter , there's my salt .

Ok ?

If you use a plain butter , put a little salt in at least a half a teaspoon or something in your , uh , juice , juicy juice .

So we're gonna pour this over our bread .

I personally think that could use a little bit more bread .

I don't know .

See , it looks like it , press it down .

It's got , it's a little bit .

I will put one more loaf .

I'm just gonna get this out to the birds .

So I'm already in here with these dirty hands .

Just , we're not gonna eat the birds can .

Uh , one person said that it seems like every time they make theirs , it's kind of slimy .

Yeah .

What are they doing ?

I mean , bread pudding is a little bit .

It shouldn't be watery .

Like somebody told me there's water on the bottom .

It should not be watery .

There should be enough eggs in it that it sets up like a custard .

So if you're using a small egg , you know , use , use a couple of more eggs or , um , I don't really know why it would be slimy , but now it should set up and maybe you didn't let it set it .

And so , you know , so let it soak because this bread is gonna soak up almost every bit of this moisture before I even get it in the oven .

Ok .

So add bread until you know , you want it to be a little bit watery .

But you can kind of tell by looking at that nail , it looks like it's firming up a little bit .

And I think that I've added enough bread nail that it's going to be a nice bread footing .

And so when you're using biscuits like granny did , I mean , it's according to how big you make your biscuits , you know , my granny made biscuits about that big .

But if you make biscuits that big , you know , just use your judgment .

When you pour the liquid over the top , you want it to soak into the bread and you can tell now it's not , it's not so watery anymore .

I mean , it jiggles but it's not just soupy .

Ok ?

So just do that .

We're gonna melt the rest of this , pour over the top and we're gonna let this sit at least 20 minutes .

I've got a mess here .

I gotta clean up .

We're gonna let this sit 20 minutes and um then we'll get it in the oven and croissants are pretty and I know that's the traditional like New Orleans .

They all use croissants for their uh for their bread pudding .

They're famous for their bread .

Well , croissants are amazing just by their self full of butter .

Croissants are so fattening and so flaky and so delicious .

So I would imagine they would make an outstanding bread pudding .

But we're just using our old bread .

You can use anything , biscuits , croissant , uh hot dog bun anything instead of throwing it out , you can make something sweet out of it .

Hi , there's our bread food and we'll get it in the oven and we'll bake it 40 minutes , 40 minutes at 350 degrees .
