Ingredients:For Caramel

White sugar – 130g
Hot water – 50ml
Lemon juice – 01 tbsp

Ingredients:For the pudding

One day old bread – 200g
Whole milk – 600ml
Large eggs – 04
White sugar – 100g
Vanilla – 01 tbsp
Raisins – 100g

How to cook:

Add 50g of sugar to a pan and heat over medium heat.
Once the sugar melts and turns golden brown, carefully add hot water and the remaining sugar.
Stir gently, ensuring the sugar doesn’t overheat, as it may turn bitter.
Add lemon juice and heat until the syrup reaches a string-like consistency.
Pour the caramel into a pudding mold, rotating it to evenly coat the base. Let it cool.
Blend the bread until it turns into fine crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs with milk, then add the prepared egg mixture and stir well.
Fold in raisins for added sweetness.
Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared caramel-coated mold.
Cover the mold with aluminum foil.
Steam over medium heat for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or bake the pudding uncovered for 35-40 mins until golden and set in a pre-heated oven at 180C.
Once cooked, let the pudding cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to set completely.
Flip onto a plate, slice, and enjoy your rich and creamy caramel bread pudding!
