Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local island markets or general grocery stores. If specific crusty bread rolls are unavailable, any neutral-flavored white bread works as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Prepare the syrup by melting the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large ring mold.
- Coat the bottom and sides of the mold evenly with the caramel.
- Slice the bread rolls into pieces roughly 2 cm thick.
- Arrange the bread slices in the bottom of the prepared mold.
- Blend the milk, eggs, and 2 cups of sugar in a blender until the mixture is uniform.
- Stir the lemon zest into the liquid.
- Pour the mixture over the bread pieces in the mold.
- Place in a preheated oven to bake in a bain-marie for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unmolding carefully.
Observations
This recipe turns basic kitchen staples into a smooth, creamy dessert. The secret lies in allowing the bread to fully soak up the custard mixture before baking to ensure the perfect texture.
