Doughnut Bread Pudding

“Don't pass up those day-old doughnuts in the grocery store. They make great bread pudding! Just about any kind of raised yeast doughnuts work except for jelly. Apple fritters are even good. I sometimes use a combination of cinnamon, glazed, sugared doughnuts and apple fritters for an interesting combination. You don't have to add any extra fat and very little (if any) extra sugar depending on taste.”

Jelly donuts work GREAT! I had raspberry and grape jelly donuts left over (!) from a Dead Elvis party in August. I froze them and made this recipe for Christmas Brunch. Snip the donuts into quarters when they're still half frozen for best results. I used a little more nutmeg and no orange zest. Elvis would approve!

This turned out incredibly tasty. I used Krispy Kreme donuts as it was what I had. The texture, flavor, etc. will change depending on what is used. I did not use orange zest nor did I use the water bath and it turned out fine. If my camera worked better, the picture would have been better.

My ex=father in law made his bread pudding for his restaurant this way and he gave me the recipe. I always make them this way and they get compliments every time.

I made this yummy bread pudding with glazed blueberry cake doughnuts and it was great tasting! I didn't add the sugar, as they were sweet enough. I used the warm vanilla sauce from the Rum Raisin Bread Pudding recipe to pour over it and everyone loved it!

My husband loves sweets, especially doughouts so I gave it a try. It was very sweet, but very tasty and not wet like most bread pudding are. Very good.

I dissagree about the jelly donuts. I have done this with an assortment of all types of filled donuts. AWSOME!!!

So easy and clever! Not too mushy, definitely not dry, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to the next level of awesome!

I make this recipe every Father's Day using Krispy Kremes. I always triple this recipe so that I use a dozen doughnuts and bake for about an hour before I start to check on it. I add an additional teaspoon or so of orange extract and some shredded coconut. I place plastic wrap directly onto (not over) the mixture before i refrigerate it. This helps keep it moist, and such that i can press the mixture down several, random times before baking it. This is wonderful served with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.

We used sugared donuts which might explain why we thought it wasn't sweet enough. I added a melted butter/powdered sugar glaze to the top which made it much tastier.
