Baked over the coals, this campfire bread pudding is smoky and sweet, made with freshly baked Ballerina Farm cinnamon roll croissants soaked in a rich custard. Sultanas, a plump and juicy Turkish raisin, add a tender, honey-like sweetness to the pudding. You can often find sultanas at Mediterranean or Middle-Eastern markets, but you can also substitute for golden raisins if you are in a pinch.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Light a fire and let it burn down for about 1 hour to have nice, evenly heated coals. Meanwhile, tear the croissants into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, briefly whisk the eggs. Add the milk, cream, sugar, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and orange zest. Whisk until well combined.
  3. To a large Dutch oven, add the torn croissants and sultanas. Toss to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This allow the custard to soak into the croissants. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
  4. Add the lid to the Dutch oven and hang over the fire apron, about 12 inches (30 cm) away from the coals. Shovel coals on top of the Dutch oven lid and cook for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the Dutch oven from the fire and serve immediately. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
