Moist Bread Pudding

This Moist Bread Pudding is simple, delicious, and takes no time to make. The thing about this Bread Pudding it has no real measurements, and you can use what ever you have left over. I have added Sherry to it, but you can also use brandy or Madeira wine. You can add what ever you want to enhance the flavour. I prefer to make it a bit spicy, I added mixed spice or cinnamon, I have even once added a pinch of chilli powder, the result was amazing! I sometime use dates and figs, and they turn out to be very tasty indeed. Of course you should use whatever you prefer.

I don’t think there are any rules as to what you can add to this beautiful pudding, as long you use up old bread and have fun with it – after all, cooking is supposed to be fun. You can even let children have a go at making up their own ideas of what to put in this Bread Pudding. For example, I am sure they would like to add chocolate buttons to it, and why not? It is their pudding and they are helping and having fun too. They will also learn not to waste food, because we are all guilty of this. How many times have we all discarded food as we thin it’s passed its best – it’s a crime!

I love this bread pudding also because it’s so easy and very economical to make, all you need to use is the left over bread and we all have the odd currants or dried peel. You can serve this Moist Bread Pudding as a dessert or as a cake, it’s really up to the person. I never knew how many countries already make it, I thought it was only in the UK.

So… create your own now.

You can add dates, although traditionally you don't, but I love them so I added them!
