Where to find ingredients
Find fresh eggs, whole milk, and sugar at any local grocery store or supermarket. Stale bread rolls are best sourced from local bakeries or simply kept aside from your daily bread supply.
Preparation method
- Prepare the caramel by melting the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large ring mold.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the mold with the caramel.
- Slice the bread rolls into pieces approximately 2 cm thick.
- Arrange the bread slices in the base of the prepared mold.
- Blend the milk, eggs, and 2 cups of sugar in a blender until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir the lemon zest into the liquid mixture.
- Pour the custard over the bread slices in the mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a bain-marie (water bath) for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before carefully unmolding.
Observations
This recipe turns simple pantry staples into a decadent and comforting dessert. The key to achieving the perfect texture is allowing the bread to fully soak up the custard mixture before baking, which ensures every bite is tender and flavorful.
