Bread pudding recipe

This dish is cooked Dominican style.

Ingredients

Prior preparation:

Butter a 3" deep baking pan and sprinkle it with brown sugar. Set the oven at medium heat (200 degrees C).

Ingredients
* half cup of soft butter
* 4 cups of evaporated milk
* 4 cups of water
* 3 cups of bread cubes
* quarter cups of corn starch
* 1 cup of sugar (set aside 4 tbsp for the caramel sauce)
* 1 tsp of baking soda
* half cup of raisins
* 4 cinnamon sticks [cont below]

* 3 eggs
* 1/8 cup of rum
* 1 tbsp vanilla
* 10 cloves
* 1 pinch of salt

Directions

Mix the eggs for one minute. Set aside. Break the cinnamon sticks into 1" pieces. Heat the milk and remove from the heat right before it reaches boiling point. Mix all the ingredients (except the bread). Place the bread pieces in the baking pan and pour the mix over the bread. Set aside for one hour at room temperature.

Bake the mix for 45 minutes. In the meantime, prepare a light caramel sauce with 4 tbsp of sugar and half cup of water.

Set aside the caramel sauce.

Insert a clean knife in the center of the mix. If the mix does not stick to the knife, take the bread pudding out of the oven.

Let it cool down before removing from the baking pan. Cover with the caramel sauce.
