Chocolate bread pudding with yummy chocolate sauce Serves: 4 Preparation: 20 minutes preparation, 1-2 hours soaking and cooking for 40 minutes.

If the above title means nothing to you, and as this is a Polish recipe why should it, then what you are about to bake here is a plum crumble pie. It is many years since I last read a recipe book of any sort! Writing one, having attempted to put this one recipe onto Word is obviously way beyond my capabilities!

This "review" is dedicated to jo145, who suggested my publishing it last Sunday, following my casual remark that ... more
