- Over a low heat, bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim the crusts from the bread and blitz into breadcrumbs in a liquidiser or processor. Or crumble very finely with your fingers.
- Remove the bay leaf and cloves.
- Add the breadcrumbs and simmer for a few minutes until the crumbs swell and thicken the sauce. Stir in the butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

- If you'd like a smooth bread sauce, blitz with a hand blender at the end
- For a vegan sauce, you can use oat milk and omit the butter
