Step 4: Stir in the Butter

Slowly pour in the melted butter while stirring. Make sure it’s well incorporated so the richness is evenly distributed throughout the dish.

Step 5: Fold in the Bread

Add the bread cubes to the mixture and gently fold them in until fully coated. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the bread can absorb the liquid and soften.

Step 6: Transfer to Baking Dish

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Lightly press the bread down so everything is submerged.

Step 7: Bake Until Golden

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. The edges should look slightly crisp while the inside remains soft.

Step 8: Rest Before Serving

Remove the Pineapple Bake from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the dish firm up slightly and makes slicing easier.
