Recipie: Bread Pudding with candied Ginger (Lacto-ovo)

[Guest guest]

Hi all...here's a recipie I sort of made up and sort of took some ideas

from my mom:

 

Ingredients:

*Half of a small loaf of a good bread (I used a honey-oatmeal-wheat

bread from the local bakeshop. A good dense bread is especially good)

cubed, approximately 4-5 cups.

*Cadied Ginger pieces, about a half a cup chopped into small pieces

*2 eggs

*2.5 cups of whole milk

*0.5 cups of sugar (I used Sugar In The Raw, but any sugar will do)

*Spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cardamom (to taste...I'd say about 2 or 3

good sized pinches each)

 

What to do:

Layer the bread cubes and candied ginger in an ungreased baking dish and

set aside. Whisk together the remaining ingredients until sugar is

disolved (it'll become a little frothy, but that's cool). Pour milk,

egg, and spice mixture over the bread, making sure to coat the bread as

evenly as possible. Cover and put into the fridge for at least a hour

for the milk to soak into the bread. After the soaking, heat the oven to

350 degrees F. Cook for 45 minutes, or until the top of the pudding is

brown and a knife stuck into the middle of it comes out clean (the

usual). Enjoy!
