Light up your smoker and let's get started.
Main Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Butter (room temp)
- 1 Loaf French Bread, (day old, or stale) cut into 1” cubes
- ½ Cup White chocolate Chips
- ¼ Cup Caramel Chips
- ¼ Dried Cranberries
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
Custard Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Bourbon
- Pinch of Salt
Caramel Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 x 13oz can Dulce De Leche
- ½ Cup Butter
- ¼ Cup Bourbon
Custard Directions:
STEP 1: Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix them up until they're well combined.
STEP 2: When it's mixed well, pour it over your cubed bread that has been layered into a tin pan and let it rest for at least 30 minutes - giving the bread time to soak up the custard - but don't let it sit for more than 24 hours.
Main Directions:
STEP 1: Pre-heat your smoker to 350°F, creating the perfect smokin' environment. We're using the Yoder Smokers YS640s Competition Cart.
STEP 2: Coat a large 12" cast iron skillet with 2 Tbsp. of butter and place the cubed bread in a single layer.
STEP 3: Top with half of the white chocolate and caramel chips.
STEP 4: You've heard of Salt Bae, well, top this with half of the cinnamon with all the jazz you can muster - make it spicy.
STEP 5: Carefully repeat STEP 3 and STEP 4, using up the rest of your cinnamon, white chocolate and caramel chips.
STEP 6: Place that delicious skillet on a smoker and cover it with a lid. If your skillet doesn't have a lid, using tin foil works too.
STEP 7: Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
STEP 8: Uncover and turn up the smoker to 400°F and bake that delicious skillet of sugary goodness until it's lightly browned. This may take up to 30 minutes.
STEP 9: While the bread pudding is cooking, prepare the caramel sauce (directions below).
STEP 10: Last but not least, when the bread pudding is done smoking, top it off with drizzled caramel sauce before serving. Be warned: try not to stand directly above the Canada Day Smoked Bread Pudding, you may be drooling.
Caramel Sauce Directions:
STEP 1: Combine Dulce De Leche and butter in a sauce pan on medium-low heat.
STEP 2: Bring the mix to a simmer for 1 minute and be sure to whisk it constantly.
STEP 3: Remove from heat and add your bourbon.
STEP 4: Return to heat and reduce the alcohol for another minute or so.
STEP 5: Once it's cooled, pour it over your Canada Day Smoked Bread Pudding.
