Homemade bread pudding Ingredients: 7 eggs 200 grams of sugar (1 cup) 800 cubic centimeters of milk 10 panels from the day before 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional) ¾ cup of sugar (for the caramel) 1 box of raisins (optional) preparation: 1 Get the ingredients ready so you can start preparing the bread pudding recipe. Remember that the best thing about this recipe is that we can take advantage of the leftover bread, so use the stale bread you have at home. 2 Once you have everything ready, start by making the caramel in a metal mold placed directly on the fire or in a bain-marie. To do this, you must add the sugar little by little and, as it melts, stir with a wooden spoon and add more sugar. Let it cook until it turns a light golden color. If the caramel is made only from sugar you can stir it calmly, but if you add water you should not touch it to prevent it from crystallizing. 3 Distribute the caramel evenly throughout the mold, base and walls and let it cool. 4 While the caramel is cooling, cut the bread into small pieces and soak them in half of the warm milk. This is the most important step in the bread pudding recipe, as it is the main ingredient in the pudding. Tip: If you see that you need more milk to soak all the bread in it, add more than half. 5 Leave the bread to soak so that it is soaked in the milk and, apart, mix the eggs with the sugar and the remaining milk. If you want to add an extra flavor to the bread pudding recipe you are preparing, you can add a little lemon zest or vanilla essence to this mixture. 6 To finish making the pudding batter, add the mixture to the bread soaked in the milk and stir well together with the raisin box. 7 Place the bread and milk preparation in the mold that you previously caramelised. Remember that by this point the candy should already be cooled, so it should be solid. Preheat the oven to 180ºC to cook the bread pudding faster. 8 Bake the bread pudding over medium heat, on a 2 cm high oven plate and water until it reaches the middle of the mold. You should bake it in a double boiler for about an hour and remove it when ready. The procedure is the same as for making a flan. If you want, you can make the bain-marie on the fire, without using the oven 9 Let it cool to remove it from the mold. Serve the bread pudding recipe and enjoy.
