portions, or squares, widthwise. Cover tightly
with film wrap and refrigerate. CCP: Refrigerate at
41°F, or below.
To prepare à la carte:
Remove a 6-oz. piece of pudding from the pan
using a metal spatula and slice on the diagonal
to form 2 triangles. Ladle ½ oz. of anglaise sauce
onto the plate and top with a bread pudding
triangle. Lean the second pudding triangle
against the first triangle with the long side
pointing up.
Preparation Instructions
**Available through the retail market.
Wash hands. Trim round ends from the bread.
Slice lengthwise. Slice into 1½"–2" pieces. Place
on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place the pan
in a 300°F convection oven. Cook until the bread
is dried and crunchy. Allow to cool. Cut a piece
of parchment paper to fit a 2" stainless-steel
full-hotel pan. Spray the inside of the pan with
pan spray and place the parchment paper in
the bottom of the pan. Spray the paper with
pan spray. Spread the bread out evenly in the
bottom of the pan. Combine the stout, buttermilk,
and sugar in a nonstick saucepan. Bring to a
simmer. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Add 1½ c.
chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate has
melted and dissolved. Allow to cool completely.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla together in a
stainless-steel mixing bowl, then whisk into the
cooled chocolate stout mixture. Pour this mixture
over the bread. Mix with a rubber spatula until
the bread is coated. The bread will be floating
at this point. Cover tightly with film wrap.
Refrigerate for 24 hours to allow all of the liquid
to be absorbed. CCP: Refrigerate at 41°F, or below.
Place the bread-pudding pan on a parchmentlined sheet pan. Sprinkle 1 c. each of pecans
and chocolate chips over the pudding. Place in
a 300°F convection oven, uncovered. Bake up
to 1 hour, or until just cooked through. Allow to
cool. Place a metal spatula on top of the pudding

rubber spatula. Cook until the mixture thickens
and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil egg
and cream mixture as this will cause mixture
to break. CCP: Final internal cooking temperature
must reach a minimum of 145ºF, held for a
minimum of 15 seconds. Add the vanilla extract.
Place the bowl in an ice-water bath until chilled.
Stir frequently while cooling. Transfer to a
covered storage container and refrigerate until
needed. CCP: Refrigerate at 41ºF, or below.

will scramble. Scrape the sides of the stainlesssteel bowl with a rubber spatula to keep it as
clean as possible while cooking to prevent
lumps. Continue to cook, stirring continuously,
keeping the sides of the bowl clean with a
