2. Butter the bread and arrange four slices, buttered side down ,in a single layer in the dish. Sprinkle the bread with nutmeg and half sultanas. Arrange another layer of bread, buttered side down, over the fruit, and sprinkle the remaining nutmeg and sultanas on top. Cover with the remaining bread, again buttered side down.
