Bread Pudding recipe without oven and without eggs

Ingredients

  1. Bread/Bread crust – 2.5 cups
  2. Sugar – 1/2 cup
  3. Milk – 1 cup
  4. Butter – 1 tbsp
  5. Raisins – 12
  6. Ghee – 2 tsps to fry the raisins
  7. Corn starch – 1/4 tbsp
  8. Vanilla essence – 1 tsp (optional)

Method without Oven

  • Chop the bread/crusts into small pieces and put them in a bowl.
  • Mix the milk and sugar along with corn starch and vanilla essence in a small steel vessel that you can fit in your pressure cooker or idli cooker easily.
  • Switch on the stove and heat this milk on a low flame till sugar dissolves.
  • Add the bread pieces to this milk and keep it on low flame for two minutes while stirring continuously.
  • Now place this vessel in a pressure cooker or idli cooker after you add a little water for steaming in the cooker. You can use an inverted flat bowl inside the cooker to place this bowl too.
  • Close the cooker lid, don’t use the weight as we need to allow the steam to escape.
  • Let it steam for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shallow fry the raisins and keep them aside.
  • After the pudding is steamed, sprinkle the melted butter on top of it and throw in the raisins too.
  • Let it cool and then serve the bread pudding at room temperature.
  • You can even freeze it for two hours for it to retain shape and make cutting easy.

Tips

  • Optionally add a tsp of cinnamon powder to the beaten eggs mixture, if you like the flavor.
  • Use any vessel that you would use on the stove top for cooking, to bake the pudding in the oven. You do not need to buy any fancy oven bowls. I used a stainless steel vessel for the pudding.
  • I get the Clabber Girl Non GMO Gluten Free Corn Starch.

  1. I like the easy bake option and I personally cut my crust off the bread when I eat them. So this could be very useful
