Don’t throw out your stale bread! 🍞
Make “homemade” croutons with me 💛
Ingredients:
• bread of choice (I used 6 slices)
• 3tbsp olive oil
• seasonings
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Cut bread into even square shapes. I removed the edges but it’s not required.
3. Put bread into a bowl and add olive oil and a generous amount of Italian spices. Mix well. Add more olive oil if the spices aren’t sticking.
4. Place on a greased parchment sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, mixing them halfway. Cook until light golden. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes.
Let cool completely before you store.

I make homemade croutons often. Usually make up five gallons or so at a time as I buy a variety of day old bakery bread. I’ve made homemade croutons, bread crumbs, and even made homemade stovetop stuffing mix last time. I store in freezer, to pull out as needed. Top salads, soups, crush into meatloaf and even to top casseroles. Don’t be surprised if you catch me grabbing a handful to just snack on too. lol.
