BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Tear 500g white or wholemeal bread into a large mixing bowl and add 500g mixed dried fruit, 85g mixed peel and 1 ½ tbsp mixed spice.
• Pour in 600ml milk, then stir or scrunch through your fingers to mix everything well and completely break up the bread.
• Add 2 beaten large eggs, 140g light muscovado sugar and zest of 1 lemon, if using. Stir well, then set aside for 15 mins to soak.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20cm non-stick square cake tin (not one with a loose base).
• Stir the melted butter into the pudding mixture, tip into the tin, then scatter with demerara.
• Bake for 1½ hrs until firm and golden, covering with foil if it starts to brown too much. Turn out of the tin and strip off the paper. Cut into squares and serve warm.

JAM BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Remove the crust from the loaf of bread and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Reserve 5 slices for the top. Cut the remaining bread into cubes.
• In a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large bowl to smooth the mixture and remove the vanilla bean. Take 1/4 of the custard, pour it into a pan with walls, and soak the slices as if for French toast. Pour the remaining custard over the cubes and let soak 30 minutes, gently turning the bread over once. Fill a 2-quart flameproof souffle dish halfway with soaked bread cubes. Spoon a layer of marmalade or jam onto the soaked cubes, then top off with more bread cubes. Spoon another layer of marmalade or jam over the cubes and top with the soaked slices, overlapping them decoratively. If there is any remaining custard, pour it onto the slices to let it soak in. Let soak in the refrigerator another 30 minutes (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking dish in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and place under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes caramelize slightly. Serve warm or chilled.
