Tear the stale bread into bite-size pieces and place in a baking dish.
Chop the dates and soften them in hot milk for 5 minutes.
Pour the date milk over the bread so no dry corners remain.
Bake the dessert in a 180°C oven for 12 minutes, until browned on top.
After removing from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes so the milky base does not run.
💡 Tip: Chopping the dates small helps them spread more evenly through the bread base.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm in small bowls, sprinkled with cinnamon.
