Recipe

Using scissors or a knife, cut the bread into bite-sized cubes about 1–2 cm on each side.
Place the cut bread in a dry pan without oil and toast over low heat, tossing occasionally, until the moisture evaporates and the bread becomes crispy like crackers. Set aside.
In a clean pan, add butter and sugar in a 1:1 ratio and heat. Without stirring with a spatula, let it bubble and melt naturally until it turns a brownish color to make the caramel sauce.
Once the sauce comes to a full boil, reduce the heat and add all the toasted bread. Quickly toss with a spatula to coat the bread evenly with the sauce.
If desired, sprinkle cinnamon powder for an exotic aroma, then spread the bread out on a tray to cool completely until crispy.

Cut the bread into dice and toast in a dry pan until crispy like crackers. Set aside.
In a pan, add equal amounts of butter and sugar and melt without stirring to reduce into a brown caramel sauce.
Add the bread to the sauce, toss quickly, then spread out to cool and harden until crispy.

Cooking tips

When melting the butter and sugar, do not stir with a spatula, as this can cause the sugar to crystallize and form lumps. Instead, gently swirl the pan to melt them smoothly.
The finished bread popcorn tends to stick together, so when cooling, spread the pieces apart without overlapping to keep them crispy for longer.
