Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously brush each slice of bread on both sides with butter. Cut each slice into two triangles. Brush a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter and lay the bread in, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with fruit, working a little between slices, and sprinkle with nuts.
Step 2
Combine milks and whisk in the eggs until very smooth. Whisk in sugar, cardamom, nutmeg, rose water and vanilla. Pour over the bread, up to ½ inch from the rim.
Step 3
Place the dish in a bain-marie and pour in ⅓-inch of boiling water. Bake for 1 hour (add more water if necessary) or until a knife inserted comes out clean. If the pudding is not golden and crisp on top, place under the broiler to brown. Serve warm or cold.
