Caramel Bread Pudding Ingredients

Eggs - Egg helps making the pudding to set and have a buttery flavour on its own to create creamy, and have a smooth mouthfeel.

Bread Slices - I use white bread slices for making this steamed pudding.

Sweetened Condensed Milk - Sweetened condensed milk is added in the pudding to create creamy caramel-like pudding that can be used in a variety of dessert recipes. Its delicious on its own, with ice cream, in coffee, or spread on apple slices.

Sugar - pudding is sweetened with a addition of sweetened condensed milk and sugar.

Milk - Milk is added to hydrate the dry ingredients, adds flavour, aids browning, and softens texture.

Vanilla Extract - a dash of vanilla is added in the custard to give intense aroma to the pudding.

How to Bake this Caramel Pudding in Oven?

I got many comments asking, how to bake this in oven instead of steaming. So here is how you bake this in oven. You can bake it in an OTG or in convection oven.

Once you pour the custard in the mould. Cover with foil. Place it in a large baking pan. Fill it half way through the baking pan with boiling hot water. Place it inside a 180 degree C oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

Now remove the mould from oven, place it in fridge to set. Now gently de mould, slice and serve.

Preparing Pan

1)For making this caramel bread pudding, I am using metal baking pan. I am using aluminium cake pan because I am cooking caramel in the baking pan.

First slightly grease the round cake pan with ghee or butter.

Making Caramel

2)Sprinkle some sugar in the cake pan.

3)Place the cake pan over low medium heat and cook till sugar melts and caramelizes. use a pair of tongs to swirl the pan gently so the caramel coats the pan.

4)Now the sugar is caramelized. Remove it from the stove and set aside so the caramel hardens.

Making Bread Custard

5)Take some bread slices and cut it into cubes. I used 2 slices of bread. Got around 1 large cup of bread cubes.

Pro Tip: I didn't remove the crust from the bread. But you can remove the crust if you want.

6)Add the bread slices in the blender.

7)In the same cup, measure 1 cup of milk. Pour it into the blender.

8)Add in 2 eggs into the blender.

9)Add a dash of vanilla extract. If you want, you can use ground cardamom instead of vanilla.

10)Add in sugar into the blender.

11)Pour in sweetened condensed milk. This is optional, you can skip condensed milk if you want.

12)Now blend this together so the custard is well blended and looks smooth.

Steaming Custard

13)Pour the custard in the caramel lined baking pan.

14)Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil.

15)Place the pan in steamer and cook for 40 to 45 minutes till the pudding is cooked completely.

16)Remove the pan from steamer. Insert a knife in the centre to check whether the pudding is cooked or not.

Allow the pudding to cool completely. Place the pudding in fridge to set for few hours.

Serving

17)Un mould the pudding.

18)Slice and serve.

Expert Tips

• You can add more or less sugar depending on the sweetness you want.
• Instead of making caramel straight in the metal pan. You can make the caramel in separate frying pan and pour it in the baking pan.
• Make sure you cover the pan tightly with foil before steaming for even steaming. 
• Allow the cake pan to cool down completely before pudding in fridge. Also chill the pudding for few hours before demoulding.
