Why this recipe works
- Easy to Make: Simple steps with just minimal ingredients available in your kitchen.
- Incredibly Tasty: The buttery and crunchy texture but not overly sweet.
- Use up Leftover Toast Bread: Turn leftovers into a delicious snack
Ingredients
- Sandwich bread: stale bread works best.
- The classic recipe calls for caramel sauce, but I prefer to add my own twist. Gather sugar, whole milk, butter, salt, and optionally, condensed milk. I include condensed milk for a richer, milkier flavor—it’s optional. If you’re a fan of pure caramel sauce, feel free to skip the salt.

Instructions
- Cut the sandwich bread into 0.8 inch (2cm) squared cubes.
- Toast the bread cubes in a pan until they become crunchy and golden brown.
- Use a sieve to remove the bread crumbs from the toasted cubes.
- For the caramel sauce (similar to Vietnamese flan), combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Avoid stirring to prevent crystallization. Increase heat to medium-high and let it melt and bubble.
- Monitor closely for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden-orange or amber. Quickly add butter, milk, salt, and condensed milk.
- Cook the caramel sauce on medium-low heat until all ingredients fully melt and start bubbling again.
- Add the toasted bread cubes and mix well until they are covered in caramel sauce.
- Spread the coated bread cubes on parchment paper, ensuring they are separated.
- Once the bread cubes cool, they will become crunchy. Enjoy!!
