This is a another alternative for people with hate christmas pud . This is combination of christmas pudding and bread pudding .You can use any bread includes panettone ,pandoro ,roscon ,brioche or even normal bread .The bread must be hard .For colour we use honey but you can use melted sugar .If use white sugar caramelize them little.
I do not think that steam the pudding instead of baking is possible .But it would be less thick and hard to serve
2 loafs old bread
1½ liters of milk
4 eggs
100 grams of candied fruit
75 grams of currants
75 grams of pitted prunes or dates
120 grams of dried cranberries or raisins
85 grams of chocolate chips
3 teaspoons of cinnamon powdered
50 milliliters of orange blossom water ,or use orange juice
100 grams of honey or melted brown sugar
We start by breaking the bread into pieces and set aside to prepare the Christmas pudding . If we do not have bread we can use muffins, brioche, panettone or roscón or plain bread that have been hard.
In a bowl we put the chopped candied fruit, the raisins, the blueberries and the chocolate. We cut the prunes into smaller pieces and add them too. Mix well and reserve.
We put a large glass of milk in the microwave to heat and put the honey in a large jug. Add the hot milk, wait a couple of minutes and stir. This way we get the honey to integrate perfectly. We add the eggs one by one and we beat in each addiction until integrated. Add the cinnamon powder, the orange blossom water and the rest of the milk. We mix well.
In the source in which we are going to bake the Christmas bread pudding we put a batch of bread and cover with the mixture of dried fruit and chocolate. We cover with bread, we distribute more fruit and so on until we finish with the bread and fruit. Carefully pour the milk onto the bread, trying to wet the entire surface well. Let it rest for half an hour so that the bread is soaked well.
We put the easy bread pudding in the oven preheated to 190 ºC and bake until set . When it takes half an hour, we should cover it with aluminum foil to prevent the surface from burning.
Baking time will depend on the size and depth of the pan. To know if the Christmas pudding is made, in addition to clicking with the wooden skewer in the center we can open the oven and move the source with the mittens on! When the center shakes only slightly, you are ready to go.
We leave the bread pudding for Christmas with the oven door ajar until it cools or we let it cool on a rack. The best thing is to enjoy this warm dessert, it is a real delight!
If you can spare you can heat it up in the microwave before serving the Christmas bread pudding and it will be like freshly baked. Bon appetit!
