In a deep pan, heat the oil to 180°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread in, if it sizzles and turns golden quickly, it’s ready.
Working in batches, fry the bread for approx. 2 minutes on either side until evenly golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside to cool.
