Ingredients

400 g stale bread
4 eggs
600 ml milk
120 g sugar
to taste cinnamon and raisins

Instructions

Cut or tear the bread into chunks and place in a baking dish.
Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon into a custard.
Pour the custard over the bread and scatter in the raisins.

Press the bread down and let it soak at least 20 minutes.
Bake at 180C (350F) for 40 to 45 minutes until set and golden on top.
Cool slightly so the custard finishes setting.
Serve warm with sauce or ice cream.

💡 Chef's tip

Slightly stale or day-old bread works far better than fresh, since it soaks up the custard without falling apart into mush.

Letting the bread soak in the custard for at least twenty minutes before baking ensures every piece is saturated, giving a uniformly soft, custardy texture.
