Ingredients
- 16 ounces sourdough bread left out uncovered overnight
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside until ready to bake.
- Cut sourdough bread into 1-inch squares and set aside in a large bowl.
- In a medium-sized saucepan add butter and olive oil and set over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter is melted add in the minced fresh garlic and stir to combine.
- Remove from the heat and pour the butter mixture over the bread.
- Toss until butter is soaked into the bread.
- Add in the kosher salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Toss to evenly coat.
- Spread butter-soaked bread onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned.
- Toss the croutons every 5-8 minutes to make sure all the sides get toasted evenly.

Notes
- To grate my garlic, I use a microplane. It will give you a fine smooth grate.
- If you forget to leave your bread out overnight don't worry about it! It just might take a few minutes longer to get the dried-out crunch you want.
