Bread Pudding

Spending the whole day watching Asian Food Channel does provide some inspiration. I was watching Chef at Home (the way the guy talks to the screen.. O_o) and he was making bread pudding for his son on a gloomy day. I really wanted to make something for a rainy day for everyone and today was especially cloudy. I was also eager to pull myself away from the frying pan and grill and explore the oven for the first time. Sounds like an adventure!

Voila! My first Bread Pudding and already a favourite ^^
The way the guy in television told the audience how to make it was surprsingly simple. Ready for the recipe? Go!

Dry the bread to absorb the pudding
+ Heat the oven to a 170 Degree Celsius.
+ Cut bread into small pieces (I used four slices today, cut each of them in 6 even slices)
+ Place them inside the oven on the pan until its crisp and toasted.

Time to make the pudding!
+ Remember: 1 cup of milk = 1 egg = 1/4 cup of sugar
Today, I used 3 cups of Milk.
+ Whisk it all up and don't forget to add a Splash of Vanilla
+ And for some of your personal touch, you can add your spices for flavour. I used Cinnamon and Nutmeg in the mix ^^ (let your imagination go wild, what about Cardamum or Clove?)
+ Keep whisking until it's all mixed ^^

What to do once your Bread is toasted?
+ Mix it and stir it in a bowl and let the bread absorb the sweet tasty pudding

Oven-time!
+ Be sure you have the Oven at 170 Degree Celsius
+ Put your pudding and bread mix in an oven resistant bowl and put it in for 30-40 minutes. Heat top and bottom ^^

And "KA-CHING!"
+ Check the pudding by poking the center with a stick. If it's clean, it's chow time!
+ What are you waiting for? Let's make one in your kitchen!

A snack or desert, perfect for any cool rainy day indoors.
