Sweet bread pudding

Cooking

Step 1

1. Soak dried apricots and raisins in warm boiled water. Mix milk, butter, vanilla sugar and 0.5 cups of sugar in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat, without bringing to a boil, until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, cover and leave for 15 minutes.

2. Beat the eggs into foam. Carefully pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the beaten eggs. Mix.

3. Throw dried apricots and raisins in a colander, dry with paper towels. Cut dried apricots finely. Remove the crust from the bread, cut the flesh into small pieces. Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, bread slices, dried apricots, raisins, almonds and lemon zest.

4. Pour the milk and eggs into the bowl with the bread mixture. Mix and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. Preheat the oven to 200ºС. Grease a baking dish generously with oil. Pour the resulting mixture into it. Cover with a sheet of foil and place on a baking sheet with sides, pouring hot water into it so that the water is 2 cm below the edge of the mold. Put in the oven and bake for 1.5 hours. Remove from the oven, let cool in the form. 6. Whip cream, sugar and orange zest together. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Decorate the pudding with whipped cream.

BTW In Western Europe, bread is treated with care. For example, an Italian woman will never throw out stale bread - she will make a delicious dressing for soup from it. And the British generally gave the world an invaluable gift by inventing a recipe for bread puddings. Pudding bread can be cut into large pieces or very small pieces, sometimes it is simply ground into crumbs. Considering that bread is combined with almost all products, these puddings can be made sweet, salty, spicy.
