Bread Pudding (Yaffa Wainer)

Lunch at Gadi and Yaffa Wainer's is always a high light of my trips to Israeli. Yaffa always serves up something fab. One of her favourites is bread pudding ... and she does it really well. Perhaps it is the challa which, being a sweet bread, I usually find rather uninspiring.

Butter

  • Grease pan with butter

Sweet Challa bread, sliced

  • Layer bread in the pan

3 eggs
250 ml sweet cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla seeds
0 - 1/4 cup milk if mixture is too thick - need 600-700 ml of liquid

  • Stir together
  • Add enough milk to bring the total liquids to 600-700 ml
  • Pour over the bread
  • Cover with plastic
  • Leave overnight in fridge
  • Bring out (from fridge) to warm up a bit
  • If the liquid has disappeared then press down plastic on top
  • Cook at 180° C until golden brown (~30 minutes)
