From Breakfast to Dessert

Since on weekdays my husband always has breakfast at the office, every time I bought a stack of bread, I could never finish it before the expiry date. Hence I looked for another way to turn the bread from a breakfast dishes into dessert, so my husband can enjoy it after dinner. That way I didn't waste any bread.

As usual I took the recipe from Joy of Baking and modified a little bit. The complete recipe is as follows:

Bread Pudding (for 2 people)

Ingredients:
4 slices of bread, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoon of sultana / raisins.
1 egg
50 grams granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of butter, melted and cooled
240 ml milk

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes
2. Place the bread cubes and sultana into an 13 cm x 13 cm size aluminum foil tray. I used 2 aluminum foil tray for this recipe.
3. In an electric mixer, beat the egg and sugar on high speed until thick and lemon colored .
4. Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract
5. Add the melted butter and milk to the mixer
6. Pour the custard mixture into the aluminum foil tray over the bread cubes until completely covered.
7. Press down the bread cubes so they are covered with custard.
8. Put the aluminum foil tray into a larger baking dish and fill the baking dish with water so it can work as a water bath, to prevent the bread pudding from burning or drying out.
9. Bake them for about an hour in the oven.
10. Let it cool down before serving.

Here is my bread pudding version:

You could also use apple slices instead of raisins for variations. I love it better when the bread pudding is served cold, so I usually put them into the refrigerator before serving. Then, your bread is now turn into a delicious dessert :)
