Bread Sauce Recipe

I'm going to show you how to make this perfect bread sauce. Now, the first thing we need to do is put some flavour in our milk, so I'm just going to pour this into my pan, there we go. Now, in advance, what I've done is I've taken a raw onion and I've just dotted it with cloves, so I'm going to put those in.

We probably don't need as many as I've got here, but I'm going to really get some. That should probably do it, get some flavour, some bay leaves in there, I'm just going to put a little bit of nutmeg powder in, and I'm going to stick that on my hob. Now, what's going to happen is that's going to come up to the boil, and we're then going to leave it to infuse for about an hour.

So, that came up to the boil, we then let it rest for an hour, and what I'm going to do is pass all the ingredients into the conical sieve. Given what could've happened, not too bad. What I'm going to do now is, these ingredients, we don't need for this recipe, so I'm going to pour this back into the pan, and I've got some obviously white bread, because we're doing a white bread sauce, but as you can see, we've taken the crust off, and the bread's quite stale as well, the very origins of this recipe hails from not wanting to waste anything.

So I'm just going to break up little cubes of the bread in here, I'm going to put all of this in, and once that's in, we're just going to whizz it all up into a sauce. Right, now that's nicely blended, we've got a nice texture. I mean, although it can coat the back of the spoon, and what we're going to do is put it over the hob, reduce it down a bit, going to add some double cream and a few knobs of unsalted butter.

And there you have the perfect bread sauce. .
