The bread cake is a typical dessert from poor traditions, but very good and tasty. This dessert was prepared in many Italian regions, and its main characteristic is the reuse of leftover stale bread cooked together with dried fruit or raisins. It is a very particular dessert since each family had its own personal recipe and created it using ingredients already present at home, thus a true anti-waste dish. But let's see together what the bread cake recipe is.
Each region has its own bread cake recipe as the ingredients used in cooking can vary from region to region, but bread is always a dish present on every table in every home. Now we present a simple recipe. We start from the bread that is used instead of flour: take all the crumb and cut it into pieces, obtaining about 300 grams. Soak it in a bowl with milk for 10 minutes to soften it, and at the same time, soak some raisins for about five minutes to plump them up.
Now let's go through the other simple steps with the crumb: squeeze it well and add some sugar and an egg, finally add some previously softened and melted butter. Then mix all the ingredients together to get a homogeneous mixture and then add raisins, lemon zest, and pine nuts (for those who want, also a splash of grappa), put it in the oven, and you're done. The bread cake recipe is quick and fun; you can prepare it together with your kids for a cooking moment!
As mentioned above, the bread cake recipe varies from family to family based on the leftover ingredients from the day, in order to avoid waste and reuse uneaten food such as bread.
