    Gordon Ramsay’s bread and butter pudding sounds like a bore, I know. But in actuality, it is an amazing recipe. I had the same prejudice when I heard the name of the recipe. I was shocked that the recipe and the end product were anything but boring. I mean, the bread isn’t your regular bread but pain au chocolat.

    The pain au chocolat, as you know, is a type of French pastry filled with dark chocolate. This delicious ‘bread’ is baked with the delicious goodness of cinnamon and apricot jam. It is soaked in a rich milk and cream mixture and then baked until golden. You can’t imagine the aroma that fills your kitchen when you bake this pudding. 

    The pudding looks damn appetizing too. I mean, the pastry has become tender after soaking and baking and looks golden and glazed. Can you tell I am in love? This recipe for bread and butter pudding by Gordon Ramsay is also a great and quick dessert to make for a Christmas entrée.

    If you don’t want to use pain au chocolat, you can use challah bread too. It has a rich and delicious taste. If you don’t have challah bread, here is a list for challah bread substitutes.

    Steps To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Bread And Butter Pudding

    1. A Little Prep

    Like always, start by preheating the oven to 180℃. Then, take your baking dish and grease it with butter. 

    Also, melt the jam in a pan over medium heat. After that, set it aside. Going back to the baking sheet, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of demerara sugar all over the sheet. Also, sprinkle the golden raisins all over the sheet. Then, pour the melted jam all over the bottom of the baking sheet. This is the base of your delicious pudding. 

    2. Soaked ‘Chocolat’

    If you have sliced the bread, take the pain au chocolat slices and butter them from one side. 

    Then, make the rich and creamy mixture. In a large bowl, add milk, double cream, and eggs. Also, add the freshly scraped vanilla seeds and a tablespoon of ground cinnamon to it. Mix everything well. You’ll be able to smell the sweet vanilla in the mixture.

    Now, one by one, soak the bread slices lightly in this mixture and layer them in the baking dish such that the slices are overlapping. Repeat this with all the slices and layer them in the baking dish. Pour the remaining mixture over the slices. Then, sprinkle sugar and ground cinnamon on top of it as well.

    3. Bake It Till You Make It

    It is time to pop this dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Take it out once it is all golden and glazed. Slice a generous piece of the moist and delicious pudding, brush it with some left jam, and serve. Bite into it and sing praises of Gordon Ramsay (and me).

    The pudding looks glazed when you take it out of the oven. It strongly smells of vanilla, cinnamon, and apricots. Slice it and you’ll see the jam layer topped with the pain au chocolat slices. The pudding is sweet and moist. The milk and cream give it a rich taste. It is also slightly heavy on the tummy. You can also taste the chocolate that is in the pastry.
