Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! Today, I’ll teach you how to bake a large batch of my Rocky Bailey's Bread Pudding. 

Bread puddings were originally an efficient way of utilizing stale bread however, it has become more luxurious in recent times.

In my version of bread pudding, I add the powdered spices to the butter and use it to coat both sides of the bread. This is because butter carries flavours really well so it will seep through and make it more potent.

As mentioned in my previous blog post, I add lime zest and lime juice to the egg mixture to reduce the taste of the eggs from the pudding. The lime juice is an acid which will stabilize the egg which lends structure to the pudding.

Also, I replace milk with White Rum, Red Label Wine and the star of the show... Bailey’s Irish Cream! The Bailey’s Irish Cream provides the right amount of creaminess to give a boozy milk effect. The alcohols added also preserves the pudding so it is sure to last longer!

To boost the effect even more, I let the bread soak overnight before baking. This is optional especially if you don’t have much time on your hands but trust me, it’s worth it!

Remember, this recipe does not contain leavening agent such as baking soda or baking powder, therefore, fill the baking tin to its full capacity as the pudding will not rise. Bake time for this pudding may vary depending on your oven. 

A pro tip is to add a container with hot water in the oven to steam the pudding to prevent it from drying out while baking. The recipe is down below and the video will soon be uploaded to YouTube so be sure to look out for that!
