• Cube 8 slices bread. I used the ends of old bread. Place on a cookie sheet and bake on 250 15 to 20 minutes or until completely dry. Set aside.
• Prepare the pork loin. Using a long, thin knife cut the loin by holding the knife at an angle and spiral cut it as you "unroll" the pork loin (think jelly roll).

• Roll the loin and secure it with kitchen twine. Heat a griddle to high, add 2 T vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, sear meat on all sides.

Bake in the oven until the internal temperature registers 145 degrees. Remove from oven, lightly cover with foil, and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
