This baked bread custard pudding is a fusion recipe wherein simple regular custard is associated with bread slices and turned them into a sweet pudding.

This is one of the best recipes which is capable of using lots of leftover bread. So whenever you are feeling like eating something delicious and a bread is lying in the pantry, make this mouthwatering dessert bread pudding with custard powder.



INGREDIENTS USED FOR CUSTARD BREAD PUDDING

 

BREAD : Whether whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, semolina or multi grain, use any bread of your choice.

And how many slices you need also varies depending on the size of each slice and also the size of baking dish.

Also this is your choice to keep or remove the crust of bread, however we didn’t feel they were any hurdle in giving a good taste to pudding.

CUSTARD POWDER : There’s no bar to choice of custard powder you can use in the recipe.

Right from Butter Scotch, Chocolate, Kesar Elaichi, Kesar Pista, Vanilla or Strawberry, you can use any custard flavour for your dish.

And in case you don’t have custard powder, you can simply use corn flour plus vanilla essence in the recipe to bring that magic of custard powder.

Yes, do note that amount of corn flour will be comparatively much less than the custard powder.

MILK : This is much better if you can use whole milk in place of skimmed one. Whole milk will bring the richness to the recipe.

BUTTER : Butter makes the pudding more rich and creamy. In some recipes, you will find butter on bread, in the custard and on the top of dish.

However we didn’t feel it comfortable to consume butter in such a huge quantity, so confined it to custard only.

Rest choice is yours.

SUGAR : The quantity of sugar may vary depending on your liking for sweetness.

SPICES : Spices like cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder adds that sharpness and fragrance to the pudding.

NUTS : Mostly only raisins are added but we have used lots of mixed nuts which includes cashews, pistachios raisins and almonds.
