📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water up to a boil. Score a large X on the back of each tomato, then carefully drop into the boiling water for about ⏱️ 20 seconds. Remove, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water. You want to stop the cooking process as quickly as possible, as the tomatoes should still be raw.**

Once cooled, peel the skins, then slice in half crosswise and remove the seeds, reserving them in a bowl. Cut tomatoes into chunks, then add to a blender. Mix the bread cubes with the tomato juice/seeds, then allow them to soak while you prepare the other ingredients.
