Apricot Bread Pudding - Žemlovka

Apricot Bread Pudding - Žemlovka

Little over a year ago I posted one of my favorite childhood recipes which I named Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding. The Slovak name for this dish is Žemlovka.

There are many recipes and variations for Žemlovka. Last week I made another variation and my boys named it Apricot Bread Pudding.

It is little lighter and creamier then my Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding (Žemlovka).

PRINTABLE RECIPE

This recipe serves 6

Ingredients:
  • 5 Kaiser Buns (day old)
  • 4 Tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 can Apricot Halves (2-3 cups)
  • Vanilla Sugar
Slice Kaiser buns into 1/2" thick rounds and place them into large bowl.



In another bowl melt the butter and mix in the powdered sugar. Add milk and 3 lightly beaten egg yolks.



Pour the milk mixture all over the bread rounds and gently stir around until all the bread rounds are covered.



Let it sit for few minutes.

Heat the oven to 350F.

Grease and coat deep baking dish or casserole dish with butter and breadcrumbs.



Assemble the bread pudding as follow:

Layer 1/2 of the soaked bread rounds into bottom of the dish.



Top it with thick layer of apricot halves. Sprinkle with vanilla sugar.



Cover with layer of the remaining bread rounds.



Beat egg white until peeks form. Beat in  little bit of powdered sugar to make a thick meringue.



Cover the top layer of bread rounds with the meringue.



Put it in the oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the meringue is brown.



Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
