How to Make Homemade Croutons
Author: 
Recipe type: Croutons
 
Ingredients
  • 8-10 slices French, Italian, or any crusty bread (if your bread is small add those couple extra slices)
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ cup olive oil or more (depending on the size of your bread)
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Oregano to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Slice your bread in about ½-3/4 inch slices. (I used 8 slices French bread when making this recipe.)
  3. Cube up your bread in about ¾ inch pieces and place them on a baking sheet. They don't have to be perfect just around that size.
  4. In a small bowl melt your butter and then add in your olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper and whisk it up. I just do all the spices to taste.
  5. Pour the mixture over your bread cubes and toss together with your hands until all the bread is coated. (Because the size of bread varies per slice drizzle on more olive oil to your bread and mix if not all your bread is coated.)
  6. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes. When they are done let them cool and then add to your salad.
  7. Store what you don't use right away in a gallon ziplock bag on your counter and use throughout the week in your salads.
