Sourdough Bread Pudding With Mango And Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

SOURDOUGH BREAD PUDDING WITH MANGO AND PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• Take two slices of bread and cut them in quarters. Make a bottom layer from these pieces, in your pan. Cube the rest of the bread into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces and fill the pan evenly.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Add milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt to a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat, until mixture is steaming. When you see tiny bubbles around the very edges of pan, pull it off the heat. You don't want to get it too hot. Add vanilla once off heat.
• Whisk this mixture into eggs, in a slow stream, whisking the entire time, until all is added.
• Pour over bread and lightly smoosh down to submerge all pieces, getting a nice even consistency. Let sit for 30 minutes. Add mango and pumpkin seeds to top of pudding, nestling mango in slightly.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes, until top is golden brown and there is no runny egg mixture left. It can still be a bit wiggly in the middle, but shouldn't see runny custard. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Cut into squares. Then melt vanilla ice cream and use it as sauce while serving.

SOURDOUGH BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan or 8-inch round cake pan.
• Combine the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts. Remove from the heat.
• Put the butter in a large bowl and slowly pour a third of the hot cream mixture into the bowl, whisking gently to melt the butter. Add the eggs and yolk and whisk until combined. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the remaining cream mixture.
• Once fully mixed, add the bread and let soak for 10 minutes. (Note: If you're not in a rush or are making this ahead of time you can soak the bread for longer before baking. A longer soak makes the bread more flavorful and very tender.)
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges have pulled away from the pan slightly, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the macerated strawberries: Toss together the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and pinch of salt in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Serve the pudding warm, scooping it right out of the pan, or let it cool and cut it into slices. Serve with the macerated strawberries and ice cream, if using. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place bread cubes in lightly greased 2-quart casserole. In large bowl beat together milk, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, almond extract, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Pour over bread cubes. Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Bake in preheated 350°F oven until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
• Note: For a puffier pudding, refrigerate several hours or overnight before baking.).

CHIA AND PUMPKIN SEED SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Mixing and Bulk Fermentation
• This dough starts out feeling over-hydrated because the chia seeds are not soaked. As the chia seeds absorb water from the dough, it will feel dryer. Unless your dough continues to feel very wet, you should use wet fingers when stretching and folding the dough at the 30- and 60-minute marks. Also, soak the pumpkin seeds that you laminate into the dough at the 90-minute mark. If you plan to make this recipe no-knead and mix in all the ingredients unsoaked at once, consider adding 30 grams additional water to the dough.
• Place the pumpkin seeds in a glass with some water, cover, and set aside to soak. If the seeds are salted, rinse them a few times.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients in a medium bowl, cover, and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
• With wet fingertips, do two rounds of stretching and folding of the dough with a 30-minute rest in between.
• Drain the pumpkin seeds and clean off an 18"x18" stretch of countertop.
• Spread the dough thin on the counter and lay half the pumpkin seeds on half the dough, fold the dough over the seeds. Repeat the covering of half the dough with half the seeds, and folding until you have a square of dough about 6"x6". Return the dough to its bowl and cover.
• After the dough has rested 30 minutes, do one final round of stretching and folding.
• Let the dough finish bulk fermenting. It will not expand a great deal because of the large amount of seeds, but it will get webby inside. This could be 4-8 hours or longer.
• Final Proof
• With the extra seedy texture of this dough, lining up the gluten strands with a pre-shape and bench rest didn't seem very worthwhile, so I skipped those steps. However, if you find that your dough is a bit under-fermented when you scrape it out of the bowl, or if you're dividing a scaled-up dough into multiple loaves, feel free to do the pre-shape and bench rest.
• Scrape the dough out of your bowl onto a lightly floured countertop.
• Firmly de-gas the dough and shape it into a boule, batard, or oblong loaf (as I did).
• Place the shaped dough seam-side up in a floured banneton, cover, and let proof for several hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. My dough was at room temperature for about 40 minutes before I retarded it overnight.
• Baking
• Preheat your baking vessel for 30 minutes at 500F.
• When the oven and dough are ready, flip the dough onto parchment paper, and score it.
• Load the dough into your baking vessel, cover, and bake:
• 20 minutes at 500F covered
• 10 minutes at 450F covered
• 5-10 minutes at 450F uncovered
• The internal temperature of the baked bread should be 205F or higher.
• Let it cool on a rack at least an hour before slicing.
