Method

1. Peel and finely dice the onion. Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Slide the onion into the pan and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 mins, stirring often, till the onion is softened and golden.

2. While the onion is frying, tear or chop half of the long fermentation bread (around 200g) into small pieces.

3. When the onion has softened, tip 2 tbsp flour into the pan and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 mins, stirring frequently.

4. Pour a good splash of the milk into the pan and stir well. Continue to add the remaining milk, stirring frequently, till the milk and flour combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

5. Add the bread to the pan and stir well. Continue to simmer for a further 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally, till the bread is pulpy and very soft, and the sauce is thick. If you prefer a runnier bread sauce, stir in more milk (or cream for a splash of luxury). Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Scoop the bread sauce into a dish and serve with roast turkey, chicken or game birds.
