Ingredients
- 6 pieces White Bread Slices
- 500 ml Milk
- 100 g Sugar (for caramel)
- 50 g Sugar (for pudding mixture)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing)
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by making the caramel: In a medium-sized pan, melt 100g sugar with 2 tbsp water over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture boil, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color.
Step 2
Immediately pour the hot caramel into the base of a greased cake tin or pudding mold, tilting it to spread the caramel evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tbsp butter.
Step 4
Tear the 6 slices of white bread into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Heat 500ml of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s warm (but not boiling). Pour the warm milk over the bread pieces and let it sit for 5 minutes. Mash the mixture with a fork until the bread softens completely.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 50g sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
Step 7
Combine the egg mixture with the bread and milk mixture, stirring until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 8
Pour the pudding mixture over the hardened caramel in the prepared tin or mold.
Step 9
Place the pudding mold in a larger baking dish, then create a water bath by pouring hot water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding mold.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then invert the pudding onto a serving plate to reveal the caramel layer.
Step 12
Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy your creamy and decadent caramel bread pudding!
