Bread Recipes: 4 Delicious Bread-Based Dessert Recipes For All Occasions

Bread is the last resort to rustle up a quick meal for probably everyone around the world (bachelors or otherwise). Bread is easy to fashion into something filling and is something that everyone usually has lying around the house, even when other grocery supplies are running low. Bread is a dependable and cheap food that can be turned into a full meal with just a bit of creativity. Throw it in the toaster and slather it with something as simple as butter or something as fancy as guacamole, and you have a quick and filling snack to munch on. But, bread can be turned into dishes far more elaborate, as well. Bread poha and upma are quite popular now, both as savoury entrees and main meals. When it comes to sweet foods, there are a number of desserts as well that you can make using bread.

Believe it or not, the humble bread can be turned into some superb sweet dishes. We all love the sugar-laden shahi tukda that is invariably part of Indian festive spreads. Apart from that, we have three more dessert recipes for you that use the good old loaf of bread and turn it into something truly delightful. We have for you, recipes of four unique bread-based desserts - kiwi bread halwa, bread rasmalai, shahi tukda and bread pudding.
