Cut the crusts off the bread and slice into chunky squares. Soak bread in milk for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When fully soaked, add all other ingredients, mix together well and pour into a greased deep-sided roasting tin.
Bake at 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4) for approximately 1 hour–1 hour 15 minutes, until soft but springy to touch.
Serve hot with custard or cold with a cup of tea.
