Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Combine 1 cup bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Heat water and oil to 120-130 F. Add warm liquids to dry ingredients, mixing until blended, then gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough.
-
Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 45-60 minutes until doubled.
-
Roll dough into a 14x7-inch rectangle, then roll up tightly from the shorter side and seal edges. Place into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Using a serrated knife, cut a square from the loaf center, leaving a 1/2-inch border on sides and bottom. Remove the cube, cut into 1-inch pieces, keeping the box intact.
-
Spread cubes and toast box on a baking sheet. Brush all sides with melted butter. Bake, turning pieces, for about 15 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove cubes and continue baking the toast box for 5-10 minutes more until crisp.

Brush the inside of the toasted bread box with sweetened condensed milk.

Toss toasted bread cubes with strawberries. Spoon into the toast box and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of honey.
