The bread should not be fresh while making it. A little hardened bread by waiting a few days is more suitable. Also, it should not be kept in the sauce for a long time. This time the sauce is well absorbed and may remain a little wet. The most important part is the cooking part. I fire should be on the medium setting and the oil should be a little hot. If the bread still seems wet, you can apply a little pressure on it with a fork so that every area is cooked. 🌸
