About the Cinnamon Hot Toddy Bread Pudding
A hot toddy, baked into dessert. Buttery brioche and toasted pecans soak up a cinnamon-and-nutmeg custard spiked with Garrison Brothers Small Batch, studded with bourbon-soaked raisins, then bake until puffed and golden. A salted bourbon caramel goes over the top.
Can I make it ahead?
Yes. Assemble it the night before and refrigerate. Let it sit out 30 minutes, then bake as directed, adding a few minutes if needed.
Can I use other bread?
Challah works just as well. Use day-old bread so it soaks up the custard without turning mushy.
Why so much salt in the glaze?
It makes a salted caramel that balances the sweet pudding. Start with half and add to taste.
