BREAD PUDDING FROM BELGIUM


This bread pudding is one of my mothers recipes. My mom told me that in the war the people use to gather old bread to make this bread pudding so that they had something edible to eat.  Obviously it wasn't made so fancy like we do it today but you get my drift.
She use to always just make the bread pudding without any measurement and it always came out 2 different ways.  The one way was like a cake like texture whereas the other way was my favourite which I am sharing with you now. It took me a couple of years to figure out why the recipe was always different.  When I use to ask my mom how she got it so dense she didn't know.  She use to say she just makes the bread pudding out of her head & with the ingredients she had.
One day I was on holiday in Brugge and there in one of the bakeries was my bread pudding I liked.  You can only find the cake like bread pudding and not this dense one.  I asked my sister in law what made this bread pudding so different to the cake like bread puddings? She replied to me: "eggs".  Wow! Eggs!  Who would have thought. Well, I took my mom's recipe & added more eggs.  It worked.  My bread pudding came out perfect!




This recipe is a small batch. You can double this recipe or even quadruple it BUT you have to bake it so much longer.  The picture on top is my bread pudding recipe quadrupled and this had to be bake for an hour and a half (give or take).  The bread pudding must be risen in your pan.  Like bloated, then you know it is ready.  Also during the baking process you might need to cover it with foil as the raisins tend to burn easily.

Give this recipe a try as it is Super Easy & made with leftover bread.  NO wasting of any food & no special gadgets needed to make this recipe.

Add all of your other ingredients to it



Preheat your oven to 180°C.  Combine your ingredients & mix it.


Place your bread into a greased baking dish & dollop with some butter.

HOMEMADE PIZZA MADE SIMPLE WITH SOME TIPS FROM THE SLOVENIAN WOMAN

Yes, I know! What is so special about pizza? So many recipes are out there & yep, they are all made with the same ingredients.  The trick however is the different techniques that can be used.  I have tried various types of ways of making pizza & everytime it just ends up being a big mess as you have to re-shape your dough when transferring it your oven. What a mission! Unfortunately we are not all one of those Italian chef's that can just throw the dough into the air and & voila you have your base.  I have tried various methods to be able to transfer my pizza to my oven which ends up being a disaster!!!! Like for instance I have tried flouring the surface with  semolina flour , cake flour & oil but it always ends up sticking to my plate & sadly you end up tearing your pizza or losing it's shape whilst you are transferring it to your oven. You try your best to save it but ultimately it looks like a total disaster.  ​Another problem is w...
