Overview
Bread and butter pudding has been a go-to treat for hundreds of years, with some food historians tracing this British classic back to the 11th century. Now, you're invited to experience a brand-new version that even the most imaginative Middle Ager couldn't begin to fathom.
Available until Sunday, August 3, the ever-creative team at Pidapipo have teamed up with North Melbourne's Bread Club to create this sweet winter comfort. Think a classic bread and butter recipe made even better with Bread Club's cult-favourite saffron and vanilla scrolls.
Featuring a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth centre and topped with crispy, golden edges, this original take on an ancient favourite is finished with a scoop of Pidapipo's silky saffron gelato, created just for the collaboration.
"Our saffron and vanilla scrolls have a bit of a cult following, so reimagining them as the heart of a winter bread and butter pudding felt so right — especially with the brilliant team at Pidapipo," says Bread Club co-owner Tim Beylie.
Best of all, there are two ways to enjoy this dessert. Family-sized trays, serving up to four, are bundled with a 500ml tub of saffron gelato ($39). Slide the tray into a preheated oven for 30 minutes, finish with gelato, and you're ready to feast. Single-serve portions ($15) are also available exclusively at Pidapipo's Fitzroy Laboratorio for dine-in customers.
"Working with Tim and Brice from Bread Club has been a privilege as they are true artisans," says Lisa Valmorbida, Pidapipo co-owner. "Bread and butter pudding is one of my favourite desserts and just what winter needs."
Pidapipo and Bread Club's bread and butter pudding is on offer until Sunday, August 3. Family take-home portions are available at all Pidapipo locations, while single-serve dine-in portions are served exclusively at Fitzroy Laboratorio. Head to the website for more information.
