I’ve been making this recipe since it appeared it the magazine many years ago. Very simple, but absolutely delicious. Wouldn’t be a Christmas dinner without it now.

question

Can you make ahead and freeze? If so what are the cooking instructions after?

I'd suggest thawing before reheating and then follow the instructions above

I added slightly more bread as we love a thicker consistancy

Hi Can you substitute the single cream with double cream. Thanks

Yes, I use Marscapone.

question

Does it have to be white bread? Can I use a granary loaf? Or white bread rolls instead?

Hi, thanks for your question. White bread rolls would work fine. Granary bread might not be ideal because of the whole grains and the stronger flavour, however brown/wholemeal bread would be fine. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
