To prepare pappa al pomodoro, start by preparing the vegetable broth.
Then proceed with the preparation of the pappa al pomodoro preparing the Tuscan bread. Place it on a chopping board and cut the bread into thin slices.
Then take a dripping pan and after having covered it with baking paper, place the slices of Tuscan bread next to each other without overlapping them.
Bake at 200° C for a few minutes.
Once removed from the oven, let them cool.
When they are warmed, rub the previously peeled garlic cloves on them.
Now take a non-stick frying pan with high edges and place the toasted bread inside.
Pour the tomato purée and the vegetable brothinside so that the slices of bread are completely covered.
At this point add the sugar and cook over low heat for 40-50 minutes, to allow the liquid to evaporate.
Stir from time to time to allow uniform cooking and reduce the bread to a pulp.
Then season with salt and pepper.
When cooked, turn off the heat and garnish with basil leaves to give a fresh and intense flavor to your pappa al pomodoro which will be so ready to serve in individual bowls or soup plates to be sprinkled with plenty of olive oil.
