  2. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C.
  3. Slice the bread about ½ in thick or 1 cm. Lightly butter on both sides.
  4. Layer on a baking sheet and bake for 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly toasted and dry. Remove and cool. Set the slices aside.
  5. Place the sugar, cinnamon, and water in a pan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes without stirring to reduce it. Remove the cinnamon stick and let the syrup cool.
  6. Grease a [url href="http://amzn.to/2plHcPr"]8 inch/20cm square baking dish[/url] with butter.
  7. Layer the bread, almonds, raisins, and cheese in the dish, pour the syrup over, letting it soak into the bread for 5-10 minutes. Repeat the steps with the same layer of bread and the rest of the ingredients. Do not omit this step. The bread needs time to soak the syrup; otherwise, the syrup will run to the bottom of the dish, and the top layer will remain dry.
  8. Bake the pudding for about 30 mins, until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven, leave to stand for 5 minutes, then cut into squares.
  10. Serve warm or cold with heavy cream over and decorate it with some flaked almonds.
  11. This dish makes a great breakfast the next day with milk poured over.
