Bread and Butter Pudding is definitely the final word use of leftover bread!! Whereas fantastic made with pre-sliced bread, it’s company-worthy made with chunks of bread, whether or not it’s a leftover loaf, dinner rolls and even sizzling canine buns(!)
A basic consolation dessert, custardy on the within, golden and buttery on prime. The one actual query is that this: what is going to you serve it with? Ice cream, cream, custard – or one thing else? 😉
Bread and Butter Pudding
I keep in mind the primary time I had Bread and Butter Pudding. I used to be actually cynical. Stale bread for a dessert?? It sounded ridiculous.
How mistaken I used to be.
When you’ve by no means tried Bread and Butter Pudding earlier than, be ready to be amazed as a result of it actually is a factor of magnificence. Attempt telling me you don’t need to eat this!!
And whereas it’s well-known as a country, home-style dessert of frugal origins, these days the common-or-garden Bread and Butter Pudding even makes an look on the menu at upscale bistros! Although admittedly, they have a tendency to make it with wealthy and extra-buttery bread like brioche and challah, which provides it a extremely luxurious edge.
However at the moment, we’re utilizing old fashioned, economical on a regular basis plain white bread. 😇 Although I feel you’ll agree there’s nothing economical about how this tastes!!!
What you want for Bread and Butter Pudding
Bread…butter… and just some different issues: eggs, milk, cream (or extra milk), sugar (lower than in most recipes you’ll discover), plus sultanas or raisins, cinnamon and vanilla for flavour.
Greatest bread for bread and butter pudding
I feel it’s higher to make use of bread that hasn’t been pre-sliced as a result of then you may reduce or tear it into chunks so that you get a greater custardy texture inside and WAY higher crunch on the floor — very interesting traits of a Bread and Butter Pudding that I deem company-worthy!
Nonetheless, my recipe contains instructions for the easiest way to layer pre-sliced bread as properly.
As for what sort of bread, it’s finest to make use of a comfortable plain or candy bread:
Plain white bread – sliced, unsliced, loaf, block, rolls, sizzling canine or hamburger buns
Raisin bread or different comparable flavoured bread that may go well with a candy dessert
Buttery breads – like brioche and challah
Stale plain cake – I personally am not the kind to depart leftover cake mendacity round till it turns into stale, however in the event you occur to, then by all means use it. Simply be a bit extra mild when tossing in egg combination
Not beneficial / “uncommon” outcomes…..
Bread that’s TOO stale – barely stale bread is right (see recipe notes), however bread that’s so gone dry it crumbles into breadcrumbs if you crush it, or if it’s rock onerous and you’ll’t tear it by hand, or so strong you may grate it into bread crumbs, it’s no good. It’s because as soon as soaked within the egg combination, it is going to disintegrate into breadcrumbs;
Very crusty and chewy artisan bread (like sourdough) – whereas it is going to work simply high-quality, it won’t be as comfortable and custardy. Thoughts you, the sourdough offered at grocery shops and on a regular basis bakeries will not be that crusty so will work high-quality, I’m largely referring to the costlier (correct) sourdough;
Seeded and savoury flavoured breads – I’m not right here to inform you how it is best to or mustn’t flavour your bread and butter pudding, however I’ll say that utilizing Cheese and Bacon Rolls may yield a considerably odd consequence…😂
Heavy breads – Pumpernickel, dense ryes and the like …. clearly.
In the present day I’ve used a stale loaf of plain white cob bread that was meant for an additional recipe that by no means occurred.
How one can make Bread and Butter Pudding
Right here’s make it:
Lower or tear bread into chunks;
Whisk moist substances and flavourings collectively;
Combine by bread gently – particularly if utilizing bread that’s not stale as a result of it is going to disintegrate – then depart to soak for 3 minutes so the bread actually absorbs all of the flavour;
Switch to baking dish, then drizzle with butter (as a result of, in any case, we’re making a Bread and BUTTER Pudding!) which can make the highest additional golden;
Bake 25 – half-hour till golden however nonetheless jiggly beneath if you poke it; and
Elective – brush with extra butter to make it glisten and for additional buttery flavour.
Pre-sliced bread – the steps are a bit totally different as a result of the slices are thinner so it’s higher to butter then layer them, then pour over the custard combination. I’ve included instructions within the recipe notes.
It seems fairly unimpressive if you soak the bread within the egg combination, and you’ll in all probability be doubtful – I definitely was the primary time I made this. However have religion! As a result of half an hour within the oven will remodel THIS….
….into THIS!!!
Golden and crusty on the floor, and superbly custardy inside, when you begin consuming, it’s not possible to cease!
Massive one for sharing – or particular person servings
For ease of preparation, I’ve made this in a single large baking dish however you may definitely make particular person ramekins in the event you’d like. That’s the way it’s made at upscale bistros, and it plates up actually properly in the event you put the ramekin on a plate together with slightly jug of sauce or a dish of ice cream.
When you make one giant one, simply depart it to relaxation for a couple of minutes after taking it out of the oven. It’ll make it “set” barely so you may reduce neat slices somewhat than the bread items tumbling in all places.
Additionally, a pleasant technique to serve it’s to chop sq. items and stack them on prime of one another to make it look taller, which is the way it’s pictured all through this publish.
Toppings for Bread and Butter Pudding
I deliberately make my Bread and Butter Pudding much less candy than most – I solely use 1/2 cup of sugar in comparison with round 1 1/2 – 2 cups for an identical quantity of bread in some variations – as a result of my base assumption is that there WILL be toppings.
There’s loads of choices, and listed here are just some concepts:
Ice cream – the distinction between creamy and chilly in opposition to sizzling/crusty/custardy is only a match made in heaven;
Custard – wealthy and silky, I want utilizing the pouring type however the dolloping type can be terrific too!
Cream or mascarpone
Strawberries and cream (YES!)
Maple syrup, golden syrup, honey
Chocolate sauce, strawberry, salted caramel or different candy sauces
