Ingredients:
- about 6 slices of old dry bread (white bread only, the black breads dont work for this recipe)
- 60 g melted butter ( about a half stick of butter)
- 4 dl milk (about a cup and a ½)
- 60 g sugar (about 2.12 oz). The recipe calls for 100 grs of sugar, but I’d rather put less sugar in the recipe ( I find most recipes to be over sweet), and add on jelly or chocolate paste laters.
- cinnamon
- Vanilla
- dried raisins or any dried fruits you like.
- extras : nuts, herbs of your choice.

Heat up oven at 175 C or 335 F.
Take your old bread, and break it in enough chuncks to cover the bottom of your oven pan. Melt your butter and pour it onto the bread. Mix your milk, eggs, sugar and extras together and pour it over the bread chuncks. Press the bread, using the palm of your hands.
Put in oven for 30mns, and VOILA! You made a bread pudding.
Now, to the fridge or closet, pull your favorite smearing paste, and go sit in front of the tv or in your balcony to enjoy your lost bread!

It is the type of recipe that becomes even better the day after, when the eggs/milk mixure has turned into a nice flan like consistency.

Misc facts:
We all have pieces of old bread that didn’t get eaten. Instead of tossing them aways, here is a recipe to turn your old bread into a healhty and filling treat.
Called french-bread by some and served as a fancy desert in many restaurants, the french call it “pain perdus”, which means lost bread. It is the old way to use the dry bread, and was used by every grand ma, and campers alike. In camping, it’s also a great way to use your old bread from the week, end to have a nice evening by the camp fire.
