Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding

This will become a favourite at home, my husband is still asking for more!

2 Cups of Milk
4 eggs, separated
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla extract
5 1/2 cups of white bread, cut in small cubes (I used Italian bread)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (I used dark, as always)

Preheat the oven at 350 F or 180 C
Butter a soufflé mold and sprinkle with sugar

In a bowl, mix the milk, egg yolks, brown sugar and vanilla. Add the bread and the chocolate chips and set aside.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until you get firms peaks. Incorporate that in the bread mixture by folding gently.

Bake in the center of the oven for about an hour.

I served mine warm, with a berry coulis. Enjoy!

PBJ and banana bread pudding

Once more I wanted to use a product Scott brought me back from Newfoundland in another recipe then what it was intended to and I also promised the hubby some bread pudding. I have never liked bread pudding... till now!

1/4 cup of butter
1/2 cup of sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
1/2 cup of strawberries
1 banana
1/2 of peanut butter chips

Butter a 8x10 dish and put the bread in it. Add the strawberries and bananas
Beat the eggs and add the sugar while beating.
In a medium pot, heat milk, butter and vanilla, don't boil.
Pour milk mixture on the bread and fruits and add peanut butter chips.
Bake until the center is bake, about 45-60 minutes.

Pan fried bread

My husband is not crazy about bread but when it comes to my pan fried bread, seems I can never make enough.

Pan Fried Bread

2 cups of flour
1 cup of warm water
1 sachet of yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 teaspoon of green onion flakes
1/4 cup of Parmesan

1 clove of garlic, chopped

Olive oil

In a bowl mix the water, yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl mix flour and salt. Add the water/yeast/sugar mix and green onion flakes and Parmesan. Mix together until you have a smooth dough.

Add flour to the bowl so the dough won't stick once it rise. Cover with a clean cloth and let it sit, for about 30 minutes in a warm and dark place. (I put my bowl in the micro-wave)

Put flour on your work area and roll the dough until you obtain a good 1/2 inch thick circle.





Cut in 2-3 inches slices. Put oil and garlic in a pan and heat it. Put slices in the pan, cook on medium-high for about 2 minutes each side.



I added more Parmesan while cooking it, cause I am cheese-crazy like that!

It can be served with pretty much anything but I find it goes best with stew and soups.



You can use the spices and herbs you want instead of onion flakes. I made a rosemary version for a stew and again, hubby stuffed his face!

I should try a sweet version of these eventually!

Bon Appetit!
