Method for Bread Pudding
Sanitize all equipment and utensils prior to use.
Pre-heat oven at 325°. Cut bread into squares.
Place in large container and allow to “dry”
during the remaining processing.
In a large container, combine brown sugar,
ground cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. With a
soft spatula, mix well until large lumps and dry
seasonings are blended.
Add pasteurized eggs, melted butter, half & half,
heavy whip cream, bourbon vanilla and Jack
Daniel’s. Using a wire whip, mix well until all
brown sugar, etc…are blended.
Add cubed bread to wet mixture. Using a soft
spatula, gently mix bread cubes into the mixture.
Half way through this process, add the raisins.
Spray 4 inch deep full size hotel pan with spray
release. Pour bread mixture into coated pan. Use
a soft spatula to remove all ingredients from the
container. Do NOT pat to level mixture. “Rock”
pan back and forth to even mixture in the pan.
The
surface should remain “jagged”.
Place immediately into the pre-heated 325° oven.
Set a timer for 40 minutes. Reset for an additional
5 minutes if needed. Pudding is ready when a
toothpick can be stuck in and pulled out of the
middle of the pudding clean and moist.
DO NOT OVER COOK OR THE PUDDING WILL
BE DRY.
