How to Make Banana Bread And Butter Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Remove crusts from 6 slices of bread (about 8 oz total). Spread each slice with 1 teaspoon of jam on one side.
  3. Cut each bread slice in half diagonally.
  4. Grease a 2-liter ovenproof dish.
  5. Arrange 1/3 of the bread slices (jam-side up) in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  6. Top with half (1 medium banana, sliced) of the sliced bananas, half (1/4 cup) of the shredded coconut, and half (1/4 cup) of the sultanas.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining bread, bananas, coconut, and sultanas.
  8. Finish with the final layer of bread (jam-side up).
  9. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 400ml whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 100g granulated sugar until well combined.
  10. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread layers. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  11. Place the pudding dish inside a larger baking dish with sides.
  12. Carefully pour boiling water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding dish (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  13. Cover the pudding loosely with foil after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  14. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown.
  15. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  16. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
  17. Serve warm with vanilla or macadamia nut ice cream, maple syrup, passionfruit sauce, or any combination!
