In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Made this last night for my mum’s church using this recipe and it came out PERFECT! I didn’t have coconut oil so I just substituted some carnation milk for coconut milk. Thank you so much for all your recipes.
Now no more left over bread to throw away. Did not have coconut oil I used vegetable oil. Substittued the honey for cinnamon syrup. Came out superb.
Thank you RenTen 🙂
Hello Felix, the 4 cups of cubed bread would be equivalent to how many slices of bread to begin with please?
Hi dc,
4 cups of cubed bread would be equivalent to about 5 slices of bread.
Thank you Felix.
Can i use Kiss sandwich bread?Or is it to light and thin?
You can use it, though it is always best to use wholewheat or whole grain breads. You might have to add 2 or 3 more slices to the recipe though.
Thank you Felix 🙂
One more question….if i don’t have coconut oil available ,can i leave it out and still get the yummy results or is there a substitute?
You can always substitute with any other kind of oil or melted butter as well.
Great thanks 🙂

Sorry… but whole wheat bread is a relatively new thing. There can be nothing traditional about this. Would taste bizarre to anyone accustomed to the real thing.
Perhaps you know what is the real thing? Why not share your recipe.
