Description
If the pie is not served immediately after baking but allowed to rest for a day, it will taste even better. The number of servings is approximate, as the pie is very filling, and the portion size is a matter of personal preference. For those who prefer it sweeter, you can optionally add 50-70 g of regular or brown sugar.

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cut or tear the bread into large pieces and place it in a deep bowl. Bring the milk to a boil and pour it over the bread, then cover with a towel and let it soak.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 356°F. Take a round baking pan about 20 cm in diameter, line the bottom with parchment paper, and grease the sides with butter.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and grate the zest.
Step 4
Mix the soaked bread with the milk and the remaining ingredients, except for the pine nuts, until you achieve a more or less homogeneous, sticky, thick mass of rich chocolate color.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the mixture in the pan and sprinkle the top with pine nuts, gently pressing them into the surface.
Step 6
Bake in the middle of the oven for 40-50 minutes at a temperature of 180°C.
