Tips for making this recipe

Make ahead: You can make this recipe the night before to save you some time. Prepare everything except the toppings, and keep it in the fridge overnight with some plastic wrap on top. The following day, remove the plastic wrap, add the toppings, and bake.

Add other toppings: Change the toppings to make different versions. You can add spices like cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix and chopped nuts.

Slice or cut into cubes: You can slice the bread or cut it into cubes according to its size. If you cut the bread into slices and are still very large, it is best to cut them into cubes.
