Bostock

Bostock is a French pastry made from day-old brioche bread that is soaked in a syrup, typically flavored with orange blossom or almond, and then topped with frangipane (almond cream) and sliced almonds. After baking, the pastry develops a golden, crisp exterior while remaining soft and moist inside. Bostock is a way to repurpose stale brioche, similar to French toast but with a richer almond flavor profile. It is often served as a breakfast pastry or dessert, especially in French bakeries.
