Directions

  1. Cut bread into cubes (about 1 inch pieces) and add to the bowl.

  7. Add toppings: place thinly sliced butter over all over the baked bread pieces.  Next Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bread. 
  8. Broil it in the oven for 1-2 minute until butter melts all over the bread and the sugar starts to caramelize.  Then cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.
