Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 10 mins


• trim crusts from bread slices, and cut each slice into thirds. lay out the slices on cookie sheets to dry out - a few hours or overnight. turn over once for even drying. it is important that they dry out thoroughly like croutons.
• preheat the oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
• pour the sweetened condensed milk into a shallow dish, and put the coconut in a separate bowl. dip bread pieces in the condensed milk, and then in the coconut. lay on the greased baking sheets.
• bake for 6 to10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. be careful, as the sweetened coconut flakes tend to burn easily. remove from baking sheets and allow to cool.
