  2. Cut cinnamon swirl bread into 1- to 1½-inch cubes.

  4. Heat skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  5. Cook soaked cubes in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for best texture. Avoid over-soaking to prevent soggy bites. Keep cooked batches warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
