Instructions

Crumble the flatbreads into irregular pieces in a large bowl.
Heat the milk with the sugar and a pinch of salt until steaming, without letting it boil.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until it foams, then add the bread pieces and let them brown for 3 minutes.
Pour the warm milk over the bread and stir gently so it soaks in, for 5 minutes.
Add the raisins and the cinnamon, then let it rest covered for 5 minutes.
Serve warm in bowls, with a little melted butter and walnuts if you have some.
