For the champagne bread

Boil the milk with the jam, water, sugar and champagne. Place the pieces of bread in a bowl and pour the boiling liquid over them. Leave to soak for 24 hours.

For the champagne veil

Cold mix all the ingredients and boil them. Spread over a very thin plastic plate. Once gelled, cut into slices to cover the champagne bread. Keep them on parchment paper until needed.

For the sugar crust

Mix the sugar with the egg and knead. Spread over a plate and place in the oven on parchment paper; sprinkle over the different powders. Bake at 50°C until it is completely dry and crisp.

For the champagne

Mix all of the ingredients and blend them. Leave to stand.

Arrange the champagne bread on a plate covered with the crunchy veil. Drizzle over the champagne. Cover all the ingredients with the sugar crust. Decorate around the ‘ravioli’ with petals, leaves and orange zest etc.
