Step 1
Cut the 4 slices of bread into 1 inch cubes. Leave them out to dry for 10 minutes if they are fresh.
Step 2
Pour the 0.5 cup vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat over medium-high until a bread cube sizzles immediately when dropped in, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add half the bread cubes in a single layer. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally.
Step 4
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining bread cubes.
Step 5
While still warm, toss the fried bread with the 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Serve immediately.
