Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound challah bread, cut into 1x1" cubes
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange bread in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing halfway through, until completely dried out, 18-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Transfer syrup to a large bowl, add bread, and toss quickly until coated. Using a slotted spoon, return cubes to baking sheet; discard remaining syrup. Bake bread, tossing halfway through, until sugar is slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bites can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
