Ingredients
- 4 cups bread cut into ¾ inch pieces French or Sourdough bread
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the loaf of bread into ¾-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Drizzle the bread cubes with the melted butter. Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the bread. Toss until all of the bread cubes are well coated.4 cups bread cut into ¾ inch pieces
- Spread the bread cubes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure the bread cubes are in an even layer and not touching.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, tossing halfway through, or until the croutons are golden brown. Check early to make sure you don't burn them. Time will depend on the thickness of your bread and your oven. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Allow to cool completely before storing so that no condensation builds up in the storage container and makes them soggy and stale. Then transfer the croutons to an airtight container or zip top bag with the air squeezed out.
- Store at room temperature and use within 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to six months. For the best shelf life, store them in a vacuum seal bag!
