Bread Burfi is sweet 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 to try! In an Indian household, Burfies are served as cookies or chocolate.
This recipe will serve 8.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh white bread crumb, I used 4 slices of bread
- 3 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1cup crushed walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom crushed
Method
- 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.
Enjoy!

Hello Manjula ji!
Can I try it with jaggery or palm sugar instead of white sugar?
Arthi, try and I will be interested to know the result.
I tried the same with jaggery powder, came out really well!!Such an easy recipe!
Nidhi, good idea
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.
Bread Burfi is almost new, I have never seen or prepared dish using bread crumbs and is a sweet dish. It totally sounds new to me
Hi aunty…i m your big fan and ur recipes r outstanding I tried ur bread burfi recipe but it becomes too soft even after refrigerating it didn’t make pieces as u have shown
Sanaya, I think you did not roasted enough bread crumb and sugar
Manjula ji! I like your all recipes, simple delicious and perfect ingredients make the recipes nutritious
Ifran, Thank you
Very delicious in taste.i used ghee instead of butter but it tastes very nice
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.
Can this be prepared with wheat or multigrain bread?
Anon, try, I don’t know how it will taste
I tried with wheat bread and it comes out delicious . Dont know about the multigrain bread.
Manjula ji,
Your recipes r a boon and just awesome. Tried bread burfi and it was a mega hit. Thank you.
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….
Madhu, needed to cook little longer
Excellent receipes & easy to make. I have tried out quite a few and it did come out good. Many thanks for posting them.

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??
Swapna, use heavy pan it will work
