Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that bakeries often use to transform stale bread into a delicious dessert. This pudding recipe is quick, easy, and incredibly tasty. Once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s a favorite among those who make it. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 2 stale bread rolls or equivalent amount of stale bread
- 500 ml milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups condensed milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 100 ml water
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Bread Mixture
To start, take your stale bread and break it into pieces. Place the pieces in a blender. This step helps to ensure that the bread is evenly mixed with the other ingredients, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
Next, add 500 ml of milk to the blender. The milk will soften the bread and help to blend everything together. Then, add 3 eggs and 2 cups of condensed milk. The eggs will act as a binder, while the condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess to the pudding.
Cover the blender and blend the ingredients until you have a smooth mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be thick and creamy with no visible chunks of bread.
2. Making the Caramel
Now, it’s time to make the caramel. In a saucepan, add 1 cup of sugar. Heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously. The sugar will start to melt and turn into a golden-brown caramel. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the sugar has melted and reached a deep amber color, carefully add 100 ml of water to the pan. The caramel will bubble up, so be cautious. Continue stirring until the water is fully incorporated and the caramel is smooth. This process should take about 5 minutes.
Pour the caramel into the bottom of a pudding mold or a suitable baking pan. Swirl the pan to ensure that the caramel evenly coats the bottom and sides.
3. Combining and Baking
Now, pour the bread mixture from the blender into the caramel-coated pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
Place the pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the pudding pan. This water bath method, known as a bain-marie, helps to cook the pudding gently and evenly.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pudding for about 45 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and check the pudding with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
4. Unmolding and Serving
Once the pudding is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. To unmold, place a large serving plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert it. The pudding should slide out easily, with the caramel sauce flowing over the top.
5. Enjoying the Pudding
Your delicious bread pudding is now ready to serve! The caramel sauce adds a rich, sweet flavor that perfectly complements the creamy pudding. This dessert is a wonderful way to use up stale bread and impress your family and friends with a homemade treat.
