Great side dish—add some sausage or other meat for a whole meal.
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
5 cups (1 inch) cubes of country style bread, crusts discarded
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 (14 1/ oz.) can whole tomatoes in juice or tomato puree
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp tomato paste
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Directions
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toss bread cubes with butter in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish until coated.
Puree tomatoes with juice in a blender for 5 seconds.
Note: Skip this step if you are using canned tomato puree.
Pour puree into a small saucepan along with water, brown sugar, tomato paste, salt and hot sauce.
Bring mixture just to a simmer, then pour over bread, stirring to combine.
Bake, uncovered, until edges are beginning to caramelize, 35 to 40 minutes.
