How to make homemade flan with bread

This homemade flan with bread is made with a combination of simple ingredients. We start by preparing the caramel and pouring it into the chosen mold. Then we infuse the orange or lemon peel in the milk. In a bowl, mix the sliced bread with the infused milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla essence to obtain a creamy mixture. If desired, add nuts, raisins or chocolate. We pour the mixture into the caramelized mould and bake it in a bath for approximately 45-50 minutes at 140°C. After cooling for two hours, unmold and serve.

Ingredients

• 200-220 grams of sugar
• 500 cubic centimeters of milk
• Orange peel, lemon or a combination of both
• 250 grams of milk or hard bread from the day before
• A little vanilla essence
• 135 grams of white sugar or ruby sugar
• 3 units of huevo
• Tropezones de nueces, avellanas, raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Method of preparation

1. We start by preparing the caramel. In a previously heated pot or pan, add sugar and let it melt without removing it. Once the sugar is melted and acquires an amber color, remove it carefully.
2. We add another part of the sugar and let it form sugar pellets. We repeat this process once more with the third part of the sugar.
3. Turn the caramel over and let it set.
4. Cut off the skin of the selected citrus fruit and add it to the milk to infuse.
5. Change the milk or hard bread from the day before and put it in a bowl. Add the infused milk and let it stand for 5-10 minutes.
6. Add the sugar and eggs to the bowl. Beat everything with a whisk or liqueur machine until you get a creamy consistency.
7. If you like, you can add nuts, hazelnuts, raisins or chocolate chips to the mix.
8. Pour the mixture into the caramel mold and cover with aluminum foil.
9. Place the mold in an oven preheated to 140 degrees, in a water bath (with a little water in a lower tray).
10. Braise for about 45-50 minutes until the flan is firm.
11. Let the flan cool for at least 2 hours before unmolding it.
