Life is Full of Happiness when you have these ‘Instant Bread Gulab Jamun‘ or Instant Gulab Jamun in your hands and you made them from scratch in 45 minutes (18 gulab jamuns, soaked for 30 minutes) !!! That’s exactly how I started my Friday morning in India and before noon we had already finished more than half the batch of these.
What is Instant Bread Gulab Jamun?
They are the Softest, Decadent and Extremly Extremly Extremly POPULAR Indian Gulab Jamun made using bread, cream, milk, and flour. Seriously, never ever had I ever thought it was possible and would have never believed anyone until I made them 2 years back. It was made for this ‘Gulab Jamun Dessert Parfait’ recipe which I was supposed to serve for an official dinner of 15 people and we forgot to bring gulab jamuns. (yup, I cried a little, screamed n then flipped through things that could match the ingredients). As we are always stacked with bread at home (I’m a Self Proclaimed Bread Monster who can have it 365 days twice a day), hence the ‘Softest Bread Gulab Jamuns’ was invented. That was then and then a couple of times I made them again and then never got the chance. But then these past few weeks, I have shared the recipe with so many of my loved ones as they were craving Gulab Jamuns and no sweet shops are open 🙁 That’s when I realized the recipe NEEDS to be on the Blog….it’s the need of the hour & the Community wants to know 🙂
So here we are with the easy gulab jamun recipe that would make you grab that bread lying on the kitchen counter and get started with these. Also, I have used ‘Brown Bread’ instead of White and seriously, it doesn’t matter at all which bread (white/brown/atta (whole-wheat) you use. They come out soft with any of them and you DONOT Need to trim the sides. My recipe used the entire bread slice and you donot throw anything.

Storing the Instant Gulab Jamuns:
I always make a big batch as they go by so quickly, hence I always store in 2-3 different air-tight containers in fridge (you use 1 and move to next rather than putting the spoon in the same container again and again). I DONOT Recommend Freezing them as they kinda become pulpy-mushy when re-heated as they are soft. The hard ones can be kept in the freezer for a few weeks.
