Bread Pudding Recipe

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• In the meantime, remove the crust from the bread slices, cut the bread in thin stripes, and keep aside in open air.
• Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise and cut them crosswise to get six thin pieces out of each banana.
• In a flat pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. When the sugar starts to caramelize, fry the bananas until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
• Let them cool.
• In a deep bowl, break the eggs and whisk until fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract, 2 cups of whipping cream, remaining sugar, and whisk well.
• Add banana pieces to this and mix.
• Take a 9 ½ inch baking pan. You may use a deep glass dish so that you can serve in the same.
• Arrange about ⅓ of the bread stripes at the bottom of the dish in a crisscross pattern.
• Arrange ½ of the banana slices on top of the bread slices and pour half of the egg and cream mix evenly over the top.
• Sprinkle some raisins and pecans on top.
• Arrange another ⅓ of the bread slices over the top and repeat the banana and cream layer.
• Arrange the rest of the bread slices as a final layer and press very lightly to set everything.
• Let it stand for 20 minutes so that the bread absorbs the liquid.
• Bake the pudding in the oven for 45 minutes until light and golden on the top.
• Let cool and prepare the sauce.
• For the sauce: melt the butter, cream, dark brown sugar and salt in a pan.
• To serve, cut a slice out of the bread pudding and drizzle some sauce over it.
