Bread Pudding

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 180C.
• Pour the milk in a pan and add sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring so it doesn’t overflow. 
• Take off the heat when the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
• Cut the bread into squares.
• In a frying pan melt the butter and fry/toast the bread. You can choose to crumble the bread into small pieces if you want.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, cooled milk, and vanilla essence. 
• Layer the fried bread in an oven-proof baking dish. Pour the milk-egg mixture in. 
• Place the baking fish in a water bath in the oven. (see note)
• Bake for 35-40 mins (but I would suggest checking the done-ness at the 30 minute mark).
