Steps:
- Prepare the bread stuffing by soaking the bread in milk for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess milk with your hands then put the bread in a clean mixing bowl. Add parsley, cheese, garlic, copacola, pine nuts, and raisins. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil to moisten and mix thoroughly.
- Set the veal on a piece of plastic wrap. Make a deep slice along the veal breast and fan open like a book. Lay another piece of plastic wrap on top. Using the smooth side of a mallet, gently flatten the veal until it's about 1/2-inch thick; take care not to tear. Discard the top sheet of plastic wrap; rub the surface with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly over the meat, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Place the eggs lengthwise down the center of the meat and roll up like a jellyroll log, using the plastic wrap as support. Tie the roll with kitchen string to secure.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Brown the stuffed veal roast well on all sides. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 1 hour.
- Alternatively, deglaze with red wine, then pour tomato sauce on top to cover the braciole. Cover the pan and gently simmer for about 1 hour until tender.
- To serve, remove the strings from the veal bundle and cut into 1-inch slices. Arrange on a serving platter, with or without sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or flank steak are good choices, as they have a lot of flavor and can withstand the long braising time.
- Pound the beef: Pounding the beef helps to tenderize it and makes it more receptive to the marinade.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps to add flavor and moisture.
- Sear the beef: Searing the beef before braising helps to develop a nice brown crust and lock in the juices.
- Braising liquid: The braising liquid should be flavorful and aromatic. Good options include beef broth, red wine, tomatoes, and herbs.
- Slow and low: Braise the beef over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the meat to become tender and fall apart.
- Serve with a delicious sauce: The braising liquid makes a delicious sauce that can be served over the beef and rice or pasta.
