No bake, eggless caramel bread pudding

Well it was long back that I made caramel custard which was recipe with eggs and to be cooked in oven for around an hour. But as I started removing eggs from my diet as much as possible except for cakes, I stopped making caramel custard too. Recently I came across this recipe for making caramel pudding without eggs and actually I wasnt too sure about how well bread would go in here but I was surprised by the results and this recipe is little simpler too. I had some stale multigrain bread , 3 slices to be precise and I just went ahead and used them for the recipe. I removed corners as they had flaxseeds and would come on way of getting silky texture for pudding. So here is one recipe which needs no baking or eggs but still keeps up the silky smooth texture and caramel vanilla flavor for caramel custard. 

Ingredients:

3 bread slice- multigrain bread with corner removed

3/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon condensed milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoon water

Recipe:

Tear bread into small pieces. Take milk in a bowl and soak bread pieces in it. Add vanilla extract and condensed milk. Let it stand soaked for few minutes, meanwhile prepare the caramel. Take water and sugar in a pan and cook on low flame. Keep stirring as it changes color and form. Sugar will tend to crystallize into dry lumps, but keep stirring throughout. Now it will melt again and turn golden. Switch off the gas and pour into a mould  . Spread evenly with a spoon, it will turn hard within seconds so you got to be quick and ready here. Now mash thr bread milk mixture using spoon to remove any chunks. Pour it over the mould with caramel and cover with foil. Prick some holes on top to let steam pass through. Steam cook for 20 minutes in a covered pan or idli maker. Once ot cools down refridgerate for 4-5 

hours.
