Ingredients

3 tablespoons sugar 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

3 tablespoons unsalted butter 

4 cups of 3/4-inch-square bread cubes from a raisin-nut loaf 

Pinch of salt 

Preparation

Stir together sugar and cinnamon. Then melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread cubes and salt. Cook, stirring, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the croutons become glossy, about 30 seconds.
