Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 2
    Cut the bread roll into eight 1-inch thick slices.
  3. 3
    Place the bread slices on the middle rack of the oven and dry for about 20 minutes until firm but not browned. Remove and let cool.
  4. 4
    In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup sugar.
  5. 5
    Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. 6
    Remove the saucepan from heat and add 5 ounces of chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  7. 7
    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 whole egg and 4 egg yolks.
  8. 8
    Slowly whisk the warm white chocolate cream mixture into the eggs, adding it a little at a time to temper the eggs.
  9. 9
    Tear the dried bread into 1-inch pieces.
  10. 10
    Add the bread pieces to the white chocolate custard mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring all bread is coated.
  11. 11
    Let the mixture soak for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the bread has absorbed all the custard.
  12. 12
    Transfer the soaked bread mixture into an 8-inch square, 2-inch deep baking dish.
  13. 13
    Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan.
  14. 14
    Fill the larger roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish (water bath).
  15. 15
    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  16. 16
    While the pudding bakes, prepare the sauce: Heat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small pan over low heat.
  17. 17
    Remove from heat and add the remaining 4 ounces of chopped white chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.
  18. 18
    Serve the bread pudding warm, topped with the white chocolate sauce and optional grated semi-sweet chocolate.

Note

The bread should be dried until firm but not toasted brown; this allows it to absorb the custard without becoming mushy.

If chilling the pudding, allow it to cool completely. Loosen the sides with a metal spatula and invert onto a cutting board before slicing.

For the sauce, ensure the cream is not boiling when adding chocolate to prevent seizing.

You can substitute the white chocolate with milk chocolate for a different flavor profile, though the color will change.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
