Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish (around 8x8 inches).
Step 2: Make the batter
In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully blended.
Step 3: Add the bread
Fold in the cubed bread, making sure every piece soaks up the pineapple mixture. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4: Bake until golden
Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a sweet side dish or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Step 4: Tips for the Best Pineapple Bake
✅ Use day-old bread for a better texture — it holds up beautifully.
✅ Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy twist.
✅ Want extra crunch? Sprinkle crushed buttery crackers or coconut flakes on top before baking.
