The insanity! But it’s so appropriate.
For some reason we ended up with many many leftover loaves of wheat bread and had nothing to do with them until one morning Bread Pudding was calling. Chris was sweet enough to help me seep the milk the night before and it tasted even better.
Night prep:
4 cups Milk
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 Cinnamon Stick or lots of cinnamon powder
Heat the milk up and add the spices until the sugar melts. Place in fridge overnight.
In the Morning:
Heat the oven to 375
Reheat the milk mixture
Medium Loaf of wheat bread, broken into pieces, try to make them all the same size
Pour reheated milk mixture over bread and let sit for a little
Combine:
6 Eggs beaten
1 cup Sugar
2 Splashes of Orange juice
Some Orange Zest
Butter a baking pan, spread milky bread mixture into pan as even as possible, pour egg mixture over everything and make sure everything is covered. Bake for 20-30min
Let cool for 10min and sprinkle powdered sugar on top or make a lovely orange glaze from orange juice, butter, cream and sugar.
Serve with fresh squeezed orange juice. Blood oranges are especially good.
