Can I do Delia's choc bread and butter pud with fresh bread rather than day-old bread?

[VenetiaLanyon]

That's it, really

I never use stale bread. Tis always fine. (quite sickly though...)

thanks Exit; have made it before and thought it yummy (have very high rich food tolerance!)

yes, leave it out on the worktop to dry out a bit, an hours will do

Try putting bread in v low oven? Will dry it out a bit, esp if you cut crusts off first.

thanks supa and pootles, will try the oven thing

No you can't. The bread and butter pudding police will come after you.

Am reporting back a successful fresh bread pud, although am now clearly on the lam....
