Ingredients

• 4 slices day-old French bread, cubed
• 4 tablespoons walnut oil
• 4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (~180°C).
3. Heat the walnut oil in a frying pan. Add the bread cubes, then fry them, tossing to coat with oil.
4. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 8 minutes or until crispy and dry.
5. Allow to cool well before handling, as the sugar will make these croûtons easier to brown, and thus hotter to handle initially.
