Bread Sandwitch pudding

This is a simple, yet very tasty dessert. You'd need a banking pan or oven resistant glass dish because you will be baking it in the electric oven or microwave. The amount of bread slices and milk you use would depend on the size of the dish, as the milk-essence-sugar-egg mixture must soak the bread slices, so that only the top of the highest bread slices are seen. Here is my proportions:

Bread slices - 12 (3 X 4)
Jam - enough to spread
Butter - enough to spread (optional)
Chocolate(any) sliced to small pieces - optional, as desired- to give a chocolaty taste.
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Milk - 3 cups
egg - 1
vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Nuts - 1-2 tbsp
sultanas - 1-2 tbsp

Method:

Spread jam and butter (arrange chocolate pieces evenly, if using) on 8 slices. Arrange the 12 slices in the form of a sandwich, so that you'd have 4 sandwiches(3 slices each), in the form of a square. Place them on a baking dish greased with butter.
Beat egg, milk, sugar, vanilla essence, and pour this mixture on to the bread sandwiches, so that the top slices are seen.
Sprinkle nuts, sultanas on to the top.
Bake 25-30 mins or till done, at 180 degree Celsius.
Serve at room temperature, or chilled.
