You’ll need half a loaf of bread, butter (60g), two eggs, 300ml milk, 80ml cream (or just more milk), 40g sugar, plus a handful of raisins, teaspoon of cinnamon and drop of vanilla essence.

  1. Cut or tear bread into chunks.
  2. Whisk wet ingredients and flavourings together.
  3. Then mix through bread and leave to soak for five minutes.
  4. Transfer to baking dish, then drizzle with butter.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes at 200°C until golden but still wobbly underneath.

Bold bruschetta

At its base, a foundation of crispy, toasted or grilled bread, marinated and spiced tomatoes or other vegetables, bruschetta is a fan favourite where almost anything goes.

It fits nicely on shareable menus and thanks to the success of artisan toasts, it’s easy for home chefs to try modern takes on flavour and texture combinations.

Bread contains lots of vitamins and minerals including thiamine (B1), Niacin (B3) which are important for releasing energy from food and maintaining healthy skin, eyes and nails.

Plus, as bread is relatively low in calories, bruschetta a great option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Seasonal veggies work well.

Sandwich staples

That’s why bread is a great option for lunch, to keep us going through the long afternoons.

Done correctly, a sandwich doesn’t have to be an unhealthy choice.

One tip is to make sure you go high-fibre by skipping white bread and choosing 100% whole wheat, whole grain, sourdough, oat or flax bread instead.

Make sure your sarnie is also packed with protein because if you don’t, you’ll be more tempted to overeat on carbs later in an effort to feel full.

Lean meats or beans are the best options. Vegetarians don’t fret, as you can also add egg slices or hummus to yours.
