  7. Place into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise and additional 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before preparing and filling the brick toast.

  8. To prepare the brick toast, preheat the oven to 350 F. Using a serrated knife and starting from the crustless side of the bread, cut a square out of the center of the loaf (do not cut all the way through), leaving a 1/2-inch border on all four sides and at the bottom crust. Remove the cube and cut into 1-inch pieces, leaving the box intact.

  9. Spread the pieces and the toast box out onto a baking sheet and brush them on all sides with the melted butter. Bake, turning the pieces occasionally so they brown evenly, until the small cubes are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the cubes and continue baking the toast box until crisp, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
