How to Make Peach Amaretto Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- **Prepare the bread pudding:** In a large bowl, combine 6 cups cubed stale bread (challah, brioche, or similar) and 4 cups half-and-half. Gently toss to coat.
- Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until light and frothy.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the chilled bread mixture until evenly moistened.
- Gently fold in 3 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches and ½ cup sliced almonds.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for 75 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
- **Prepare the Amaretto Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons butter and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg yolk. Gradually whisk in about ¼ cup of the hot sugar mixture to temper the egg yolk.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining sugar mixture.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur.
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled generously with the amaretto sauce.
