    puddina! I love it, always reminds me of my Nanna!! I make it here now in England and my children love it. I always have to make 2 trays of it, as 1 has to be cut up for the whole family and 1 I hide for my family!! Great stuff, easy to make and tastes great! if you dont have Anisette I'd use Brandy!!

    Maltese bread is a crusty bread so I suppose any kind of crusty bread will do.

    the bread used is maltese bread. I dont know if you might find something like it in England but do not use the usual sliced bread as the result wil be disastrous.lMaltese bread is a solid, sourdough bread. It has a crisp crust and a light crumb with irregular holes – and it is very tasty. If you can find something similar it will do. Good luck.
