Ingredients
Directions
13 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tsp water over medium heat.
2
Stir occasionally, letting the syrup simmer and turn light yellow in color before ultimately turning golden amber.
3
Remove saucepan from heat and immediately pour caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan. Swirl the cake pan around to ensure that the caramel syrup evenly coats the bottom of the pan.
4
Cut the crusts off the bread slices, roughly chop them, and place the pieces into a food processor. Pulse until breadcrumbs are formed.
5
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup milk with the custard powder until dissolved.
6
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring 1.5 cups of milk to a simmer. Add 1/2 cup sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved.
7
Gradually stir in the custard mixture and continue stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
8
Lower the heat and add the bread crumbs to the saucepan, mixing until all ingredients are combined.
9
Pour the bread and custard mixture over the caramel in the cake pan, spreading evenly.
10
Cover the cake pan with aluminum foil and place into the preheated oven, baking for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
11
Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for 20 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
12
To unmold, remove the cake pan from the refrigerator 10-20 minutes before serving. Place a plate upside down on the cake pan, then invert the pan to release the caramel bread pudding.
13
Slice the pudding using a heated knife and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or caramel decorations, if desired.
