Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC bake.

Remove the crusts from the bread and cut each slice in half diagonally to make 2 triangles. Lay a third of the bread triangles butter-side down in a 20cm round ovenproof dish. 

Sprinkle with half of the currants and sultanas, then add half of the remaining bread and remaining currants and sultanas. Finish with a layer of bread with the butter-side up.

Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large jug, then whisk in the milk and vanilla. Pour over the bread and butter and sprinkle the top with grated nutmeg.

Place the dish in a large roasting pan and carefully add water to the pan until it is three-quarters of the way up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until pudding is golden brown and set. 

Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Additional tips
  • Delicious with ice cream or cream!
  • For an extra indulgent pudding, try using sliced brioche or raisin toast.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use leftover bread for bread and butter pudding?

Absolutely! Stale or day-old bread works well, as it absorbs the liquid well without becoming soggy. It's a great way to reduce food waste and create a delicious dessert.

How do I make the top of my bread and butter pudding golden and crispy?

Brush the top layer of bread with a little melted butter or cream and sprinkle with sugar before baking. This can create a caramelised, golden top.
