In a big pot heat the milk, butter, fruit and sugar (don't let it boil). I use my Magimix to turn the bread into crumbs, add breadcrumbs mixed spice and vanilla, stir well. Grease well a roasting tin and empty the mixture into, spread well into all corners, then dot the top with butter in small amounts, cover with a piece of foil so fruit does not burn (remove this 10 mins before end of cooking time) (cook for 45 - 55 mins) or until golden brown and smelling yummy! You can serve this with a cuppa or have as a dessert with some custard. Happy cooking!

Introduction
This does make a lot, but it freezes well, when my nan made this she had a family of 13 to cater for.

Show more commentsWhat temperature do I cook it at?
This is the best and most easiest recipe for bread pudding and tastes just the same like my dear late mother used to make. My friends love it. I cook it on gas mark 5 for 50mins then leave the foil off for the last 20mins. Mm... Scrumptious.
This is lovely, just like my mom used to make . I cooked at 180C for 30mins covered in foil..then removed foil for an extra 20 mins and it turned out lovely.
I have just made this and it is delicious. It took me back to my childhood as my mum loved it and made it a lot. I did add some brandy to the mix though! I cooked it in my fan oven at 180C by the way and that seemed just right. thanks for posting
Oven temp please I cook it on 180 but it takes about an hour.
Oven temp please!
Looks a great recipe but doesn't say what temperature to cook it in. Would appreciate knowing this Thankyou
it would have been useful to know what temperature to set the oven to lol :)
