Steps

1. 1

   Combine all the bread pudding ingredients—French bread, milk, beaten eggs, crushed pineapple, both sugars, melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla, golden raisins, and black walnuts—in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.

3. 3

   For the special sauce, whisk the granulated sugar and egg yolks together in a small saucepan.

4. 4

   Stir the melted butter into the sugar-and-yolk mixture.

5. 5

   Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is just bubbly.

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Continue stirring while adding 3–4 tablespoons bourbon, whiskey, or other liquor, the water, and the lime juice.

Notes

The post requests help adapting this recipe to vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free requirements but supplies no substitutions or revised method. The sauce liquor is listed as 3–4 tablespoons; the source does not specify which quantity within that range to use. The bread pudding bake time is stated, but no pan size or doneness cue is given.
