- 3Place the bread pieces in the lukewarm lard. Fry slowly, turning them as soon as they harden a little on one side. The bread must fry very slowly, and should remain on the fire at least ten minutes, so that the heat can penetrate gradually into the middle and make it light. This bread to be successful should be hollow inside like a fritter when finished.
- 4When the bread has taken a good golden color, remove from the lard, drain it on a napkin, add a little salt, and serve very hot.

Sweet Fried Bread (Taleu Paun)
Thick slices of bread are transformed into a decadent treat by soaking them in a sweetened milk and egg custard infused with floral rose water and vanilla. This historical Parsi-style French toast is fried in ghee until golden-brown and crisp, using a unique technique of spooning extra custard over the bread as it cooks to ensure a moist, pudding-like interior. A comforting and aromatic dish that bridges the gap between breakfast and dessert, best served warm.
