Method

  1. 1

    Bake. For the Bread Pudding: Grease an 20 cm square pan with butter; keep to one side. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 175°C (180°C). Spread bread cubes onto one rimmed baking tray and bake till edges of bread feels dry, around 10 minutes. Take out from oven and let pan cool on a rack. Beat milk, cream, and sugar to mix in a mid-sized saucepan. Heat over a mid-sized flame, mixing now and then, till scalding. Remove from heat and beat in chocolate till melted and smooth. Leave to sit to cool a little, around 10 minutes. Beat egg yolks and egg to mix in a big bowl. Slowly beat in warm milk mixture to mix. Beat in vanilla. Tip in bread cubes and let soak, around 30 minutes, lightly mixing now and then. Pour mixture into ready pan and bake till only just set, around 25 minutes. Leave till it is cold a little before serving, around 15 minutes. Leftover bread pudding can be reheated in this microwave. For the Sauce: In a little saucepan over a mid-sized flame, heat cream to just simmering. Remove from heat and beat in chocolate till melted and smooth. Eat at once.
