BREAD PUDDING WITH CANDIED GINGER (OV0-LACTO)

 

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.

*Candied 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)

 

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!
