Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cut stale bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the baking dish, filling it about two-thirds full.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cocoa powder together until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar-cocoa mixture evenly over the bread cubes and gently toss to coat the pieces.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, eggs (or egg whites), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are submerged and covered.
  7. Let the bread soak for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with milk, a pat of butter, or whipped topping.
