Preheat the wood-fired oven.

In a large pan, heat canola oil and sauté the onions until translucent.

Add garlic and cook for another minute.

Stir in the minced beef and cook until browned.

In a bowl, soak the white bread in milk, then crumble it into the meat mixture.

Mix everything well and transfer to a baking dish.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs for the custard topping.
