Instructions

Preheat over to 300°F. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Remove the crust and cut the bread into small cubes.
Combine the garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning in a medium bowl.
Spread the bread cubes on prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.
Spray the top with more oil to coat and top with half of the seasoning and half of the shredded cheese; season with black pepper then bake for 14 minutes or until dry, crispy, and golden brown.
Turn the croutons over, spray a little more oil and sprinkle with remaining seasoning, black pepper and shredded cheese; bake for an additional 14 minutes until done.
Store croutons in air-tight container or ziplock bag. Makes 4 cups.

Notes

*This should be about 5 1/2 oz after the crust is removed, before baking. This was calculated as such.
