Notes
- Mix the ingredients well ~ Make sure the wet ingredients along with the brown sugar, nutmeg and kosher salt are well mixed. After adding the pineapple and bread cubes, be sure to completely moisten the ingredients.
- Grab a can of pineapple ~ If fresh pineapple is not available, substitute a 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks.
- Pick a rustic loaf of bread ~ The best bread for the recipe is a rustic one like ciabatta or baguette. You want a sturdy bread that will hold its shape even after adding the liquid ingredients.
