Equipment
- knife
- Medium sized bowl
- large baking sheet
- parchment paper
- spatula
Ingredients
- ½ loaf Sourdough or rustic country bread round, diced
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the bread into one-inch thick pieces. Transfer the cubes to a medium-sized bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss together to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
- Bake for seven minutes, then remove from oven and turn the croutons over with a spatula. Return to the oven for another seven to ten minutes until lightly browned and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and use right away, or cool completely then store in an airtight container one week.
Notes
- You can skip the garlic powder if you'd like, though it's delicious when added.
- Double or triple this recipe, the croutons keep well for a full week.
- For a more rustic look, tear the stale bread into similar size pieces rather than cutting the bread with a knife.
