Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a round tin about 22 cm in diameter.
  2. Tear the bread into pieces, place them in a bowl and pour warm milk over them to soften for 15 minutes.
  3. Mash the bread with a fork until you have a smooth mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon and a pinch of salt until the mixture turns pale.
  5. Fold the egg mixture into the bread, add the raisins if using, then pour into the tin.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer comes out dry. Let it cool slightly before turning out.

Variations and tips

Caramel version. Make a caramel with 80 g of sugar and spread it over the bottom of the tin before pouring in the batter.
