I&#8217;d tried making gluten free bread once and I failed miserably, so didn&#8217;t quite dare trying it again. Yesterday, I was thinking of some ways to finish up the bread and making this bread pudding was the only idea that had hit me.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is inspired by the recipe for making &#8220;double ka meetha&#8221;, a popular Hyderabadi dessert. &#8220;Double ka meetha&#8221; means &#8220;twice the sweet&#8221; in hindi as the bread is sweetened up twice; first by dipping it in a sugar syrup and secondly by pouring sweetened thickened milk over it. I know it would taste heavenly after sweetening it up twice. Having born without a sweet tooth and being a health conscious person, I ended up making a healthy version of double ka meetha. This is definitely not the authentic way of making it as I skipped dipping the fried bread in sugar syrup, so I am just calling it as bread pudding or sweet bread.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to empty the leftover bread or want to make a different dish with bread, try this one. Kids are going to indulge in it and adults are going to turn into kids. Easy to make and tastes delicious. If I can make a healthier version of something I would definitely go for it, sharing a healthier version of eggless bread pudding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bread pudding or Sweet Bread<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img
