Today we bring a recipe for those with a sweet tooth and also for those who defend the cuisine of use. Pan de calatrava is a traditional dessert from Murcia, although its origin has several theories. It is very similar to the flan but with the addition of using leftovers from the previous day, either bread, cakes or muffins. So, if you don’t want to waste those leftover pieces of bread, get to work to make this delicious pudding.
