Notes

Note 1 - Bread Rolls

I used Hawaiian bread rolls (the ones with the shiny top), but you can use most rolls or types of bread - I do recommend avoiding your usual sandwich bread as it is quite soft and will go a bit mush (but if it's a bit stale it should be fine).

Day old bread is best.

Note 2 - Protein Powder

This is optional and can be omitted. If using, I recommend a neutral or vanilla flavor and to use a vegan-based protein powder as these heat better. Whey can sometimes have a funky taste once heated.

Serve with: yogurt and fresh fruit

Storing

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Oven. Reheat individual portions in the oven at 320–340°F / 160–170°C for around 10–12 minutes.

Microwave. Heat for 1–2 minutes, covered, to retain moisture.

Freezing

You can freeze the entire bake or cut it into individual pieces.

Wrap portions tightly in cling wrap plus foil or use a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
