• 2. Soak raisins at least 2 hours in rum to plump the raisins (soak longer if you have time).
• 3. Add egg and milk to bread pan; cover liquid completely with flour.
• 4. To each corner of pan and on top of the flour, start adding sugar in one corner, salt in another corner, butter and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the flour and add yeast.
• 5. I used the 2 lb loaf setting, selected fruit and nuts and started the machine. Add raisins when prompted or after the 1st kneading. My machine does not prompt for adding raisins or nuts so I had to listen for that 1st kneading.
• 6. This bread rose to the very top of my machine. So, the last 10 minutes of baking time I lifted the top/lid slightly and placed a spoon under the lid to keep it up above the bread so the top would dry and brown. Honestly this is the best bread I've ever made by baking it in the bread machine.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, pour rum over raisins. Let stand for 30 minutes and drain.
• Place ingredients in pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Use the regular setting for a 1 pound loaf.
• If your machine has a Fruit setting, add the raisins at the signal, or about 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large saucepan, add milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, rum and raisins and heat until warm. Simmer and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Into a large bowl add the cubed bread and pour in the hot milk mixture. Let sit for 30 minutes so the bread absorbs the milk.
• Add the beaten eggs to the bread and milk mixture and stir. Pour bread pudding into a buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish and bake for 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the apple, raisins, 1 tablespoon rum, and pinch of cinnamon. Cook until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Toss apples with bread cubes, and spoon into prepared pan.
• Combine brown sugar, white sugar, 3/4 cup milk, evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, pour hot milk mixture into beaten eggs. Pour custard over bread cubes and apples.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil; bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake until pudding is puffed and lightly browned, about 10 additional minutes.
• While the pudding bakes, prepare the rum sauce. Whisk together 3 tablespoons milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 tablespoon rum, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup white sugar; bring to a boil. Slowly add cornstarch mixture, stirring until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla.
• Pour rum sauce over warm pudding. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken and form a beautiful glaze.
