Žemlovka

Žemlovka is a delightful sweet bread pudding that holds a cherished place in Czech and Slovak kitchens. To prepare it, you begin by soaking bread rolls such as rohlíky or veka in a mixture of sweetened milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a hint of cinnamon. Once the bread is thoroughly soaked, you layer it in a roasting pan with slices of apples or pears. For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle some sugar or add raisins on top. Then, you bake it until a beautiful golden crust forms. Whether served warm or cold, Žemlovka is a comforting treat that often graces canteens, bringing a taste of home to many.
