Ingredients
- 1 loaf of sliced bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F (150C).
- Cut bread into ½” cubes. I find this is easiest if the bead is slightly stale. I cut each slice into strips and then use kitchen shears to cut into neat ½” cubes.
- Scatter evenly over an ungreased baking sheet.
- Transfer to center rack of 300F (150C) oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, use a spatula to stir the bread cubes, then return to the oven and bake another 5 minutes. Check the bread cubes after 5 minutes, if they’re not crisp/are still slightly soft, return to the oven in 5 minute intervals until crisp.
- Allow to cool before using as indicated in your recipe.

Notes
- You can use any kind of bread you’d like for this recipe. If the bread is too difficult to cut, it may be helpful to use kitchen shears. You can also let it sit out for several hours to become slightly stale, which will help with cutting it, too.
- The bread cubes will shrink in the oven and you will lose volume, so make more cubes than your recipe calls for. 8 cups of bread cubes shrinks up to about 6 after baking.
