Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Arrange the bread in layers in an oven proof dish or divide between smaller dishes if you haven’t got a big pudding dish.
3. Lightly beat the eggs and yolks, mix in the sugar, spices and milk and pour over the bread. Push the bread down to soak it in the egg mixture.
4. Sprinkle on the chocolate pieces.
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until crispy and puffed on top, and springy when pressed - this shows it’s set in the middle and ready to serve.
