Using leftovers can be so easy and delicious! If you have some stale milk bread or brioche and leftover frozen fruit and berries at home you can turn them into an absolutely brilliant dessert in no time at all. A classic bread pudding with berries aka. Ofenschlupfer here in Germany! Maybe this is something for your next breakfast or when a whole gang comes over for brunch? I highly recommend it!
Yesterday I had already addressed the topic of recycling & food waste in a post. Together with my collab partner PENNY, I created some delicious bakes for their current loyalty points program* – great recipes that can help fight food waste. You probably know that from your own experience already… sometimes you buy stuff to eat and for some reason you end up with leftovers. Instead of simply throwing them away, in most cases you can use the leftovers and make a new dish or pastry.
For this Ofenschlupfer here I used milk bread rolls, which have been on the counter for a few days. They got quite dry and nobody really wanted to eat them anymore. Luckily you can make something delicious with that old bread ;) The berries in the recipe are also kind of”recycled”. I gathered them from several open bags from my freezer plus some leftover fresh berries and then used them as the fruity topping for the bread pudding. I am pretty sure you got something similar in your kitchen waiting to be used ;P
The recipes I’ll be posting here over the next few weeks within the collab with PENNY are all suitable for the baking pans for which you can currently collect loyalty points*. Five different baking pans, all made from 100% recycled aluminum cans (excluding the non-stick coating). There’s also a handy mixing bowl and an oven glove available – both also made from recycled materials. For a full booklet with 60 loyalty points (you get one point for every 5 euros of the purchase value), you can then take one of the goodies home with you for a small additional payment (you save over 80% compared to the price without loyalty points). As soon as you have the baking pan you can start with the recipe ;)
+ the baking pans are all made with 100%* recycled aluminum cans (*excl. non-stick coating).
+ the mixing bowl has a minimum of 50% recycled material
+ the oven glove is made of at least 40% recycled cotton
+ the packaging of the products is made with FSC-certified recycled paper
Note: you can also use many types of “old” milk bread, brioche, regular white bread, or even croissants to make this bread pudding. It’s also fine to mix any of these leftovers – the bread pudding doesn’t care ;P For the topping you can also use fresh fruits instead of frozen leftovers – apples, pears, peaches… whatever you like. It’s really a bake that can be adapted very easily.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
16 oz. (450g) stale milk bread rolls, alternatively brioche
5 medium eggs
1 cup (240ml) milk
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (100g) raw cane sugar
1 tsp. vanilla paste
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 pinch of salt
5.3 oz. (150g) frozen berries (e.g. blueberries, raspberries etc.), defrosted
1.8 oz. (50g) almonds, sliced
450g Milchbrötchen (altbacken), alternativ Hefezopf oder Rosinenstuten
5 Eier (M)
240ml Milch
240ml Sahne
100g brauner Roh-Rohrucker
1 TL Vanille Paste
1 TL Zitronenabrieb
1 Prise Salz
150g TK-Beeren (Blaubeeren, Himbeeren, etc.), aufgetaut
50g Mandeln, gehobelt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Cut the stale milk bread rolls into bite-sized cubes and place them inside the prepared baking pan.
3. Add the eggs to a large bowl and whisk until slightly foamy. Add the milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla paste, lemon zest, and salt and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture over the bread and press any rising cubes back down into the liquid, if necessary. Set aside and let soak for about 15 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Toss the cubes carefully once more in the milk mixture, then sprinkle with the berries and sliced almonds. Bake for about 40-45 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, let cool down a bit, and then serve while still warm. The bread pudding can be served with some vanilla custard or whipped cream.
2. Die altbackenen Milchbrötchen in mundgerechte Würfel schneiden und in die vorbereitete Form geben.
3. Die Eier in eine große Schüssel geben und etwas verquirlen. Milch, Sahne, Zucker, Vanille Paste, Zitronenabrieb und Salz dazugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die Mischung über das Brot gießen und ggf. aufsteigende Würfel in die Flüssigkeit drücken. Für etwa 15 Minuten zur Seite stellen und ziehen lassen.
4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Die Milchbrötchenwürfel noch einmal in der Milchmischung wenden, dann die TK-Beeren und die gehobelten Mandeln darüberstreuen. Für etwa 40-45 Minuten backen.
5. Ofenschlupfer aus dem Ofen holen, ein klein wenig abkühlen lassen und dann noch warm servieren. Dazu passt prima etwas Vanillesoße oder Schlagsahne.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;) 
Easy, filling and delicious!
