Tips for making the perfect Calatrava bread
- You can use leftover bread, biscuits, Swiss buns or muffins, always 200 g for these quantities that we have put in the recipe.
- We must chop them small and ensure that they soak well with the mixture, so as not to find dry pieces in the pudding later.
- If your oven tends to get very hot, lower the temperature to 180°C
- To unmold the Calatrava bread it has to be completely cold, we even advise you to leave it in the mold and unmold it when serving.
- One way to ensure that the bread detaches well from the mold and the caramel does not stick to it, is to submerge the mold in 2 fingers of boiling water for 30 seconds, before unmolding.
