BUDIN DE PAN / Bread Pudding

1 large loaf of bread (approximately 22 slices)

7 eggs

2 cups sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 cups milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup sugar (to caramelize pan)

½ cup nuts cut in medium size pieces (optional)

½ cup raisins (optional)

1 teaspoon lemon or orange rind (optional)

Preparation:

Melt sugar in a medium saucepan, at low heat, until it turns golden and caramelize a tube pan. Set aside.

Place bread slices in a large bowl and cover with 6 cups of hot water, pressing bread with the hand so it gets soaked. Leave bread in water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place bread in a colander to drain excess water. Discard water. Return to a large bowl and add hot milk with vanilla. Force mixture through a strainer. Add eggs previously mixed, sugar, clove,and cinnamon.

Pour mixture into caramelized pan and bake in preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for 1:15 hours approximately.
