Sticky Date and Almond Bread Pudding with Amaretto ZabaglioneNoel Barnhurst

Baker's sugar, a favorite of pastry chefs, is also called superfine sugar. It measures the same as regular but dissolves more quickly. It's available at some supermarkets. You can also make your own by whizzing granulated sugar in a food processor until powdery.

Medjools are the most prized of all dates, and their firm, meaty texture is perfect for this recipe.
