Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster.

While the bread toasts, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine water and granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in rose water or orange blossom water.

Place toasted bread cubes in a serving dish. Drizzle generously with the prepared syrup, ensuring all cubes are moistened. Let sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the syrup.

Prepare the ashta (cream layer). In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, heavy cream, cornstarch, and caster sugar until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
