Bread Burfi

Bread Burfi is sweet snack like candy and has a fudge like consistency. Most of us think that making burfi takes a lot of time and effort. This recipe is actually quite simple and of course very delicious! This recipe is definitely one dessert to try! In an Indian household, Burfies are served as cookies or chocolate.

Bread Burfi

Ingredients

  • 2 cup of fresh white bread crumb, I used 4 slices of bread
  • 3 tbsp clarified butter or ghee
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup crushed walnuts
  • 1/4 tbsp cardamom crushed

Instructions

  • Make the bread crumb, cut the bread in small pieces, and do not remove the edges. I use food processor to make crumb.
  • Dry roast the bread crumb over medium heat in a frying pan, stirring continuously, this will take about 5-6 minutes. Roasted bread crumb will be light golden in color.
  • Sprinkle the sugar and keep roasting. Sugar will be caramelized with bread crumb and will be light brown in color. This process will take about 4 minutes.
  • Add cardamom and milk keep stirring, mixture will be in texture of soft dough.
  • Add butter and roast the mix with butter for another minute, until mix will start leaving the edges. Add the walnuts and fold it with mix. Turn off the heat. And pour it over greased plate.
  • Spread it in square shape 8” x 8” let it sit for about half until it comes to room temperature. Cut them in one inch squares.
  • Delicious burfi is ready. You can store the burfi outside for a week and refrigerate for a month.

    Sorry Manjula, do you think this recipe could work with stale bread? I have a lot of it because of my family’s restaurant and I’m always looking for new ways to dispose of it.

      You did right by using it since the recipe calls for ghee and not butter.

    Which milk to use? Full fat? I think mine might turn out soft and sloppy, how would you prevent this?

      shilpa3jan, I use full milk, may be too much milk or did not roasted the bread crumb enough.

    Hello aunty,
    I tried your bread burfi yesterday. The taste is very yummy, the only thing is that it did not come out like burfi consistency, but like halwa….It remained soft, and was unable to cut it into required shape.. Aunty please let me know where I did the mistake…
    Taste is too yummy….

    Hello manjula madam,
    i have been working most of your recipes at home and they came out delicious. Most of your recipes are no onion and no garlic..which helps me try them out even on Vrat days too. Thankful for that too
    This bread burfi is looking delicious. Do i have to use a non stick pan so that it does not stick to pan while stirring??
