Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any major Canadian grocery store. Look for 'day-old' bread rolls in the bakery section. If needed, standard white sandwich bread can be used as a substitute, though traditional rolls offer the best texture.
Preparation method
- Prepare the caramel by melting the 2 tablespoons of sugar directly in a large tube pan.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the pan with the prepared caramel.
- Slice the bread rolls into pieces approximately 2 cm thick.
- Arrange the bread slices evenly at the bottom of the caramel-lined pan.
- In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, and 2 cups of sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Stir the lemon zest into the liquid mixture.
- Pour the custard over the bread slices in the pan.
- Place the pan into a larger tray to bake in a bain-marie (water bath) in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before carefully unmolding.
Observations
This recipe transforms simple pantry staples into a deliciously rich and smooth dessert. The secret lies in ensuring the bread fully absorbs the custard base before it hits the oven.
