It's pronounced "pain-per-du and not do. Maybe a typo.

Yes, but I find sometimes Americans miss that "ooo" sound since we don't really have a lot of English words that make that sound, well maybe "glue"? So "do" just gets them there quickly! LOL! :)

Absolutely brilliant way to turn stale baguette into something special! The whole concept of pain perdu really shows how French cooking is about respecting ingredients and minimizing waste. I used to toss day-old bread till I learned this trick from a freind in Lyon, and now its become a weekend staple. Adding orange zest to the custard sounds like a game-changer.
