Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- Use sturdy/hearty bread like sour dough bread or French loaf. It's best. If you don't have sour dough bread or French loaf, use ciabatta, French rolls, or challah bread.
- Slice bread into equal sizes for evening browning.
- You can use melted butter in place of olive oil for richer taste.
- Use garlic granules if available. You'll love it's texture.
- Flip croutons occasionally while roasting in oven for even browning all the sides.
- Allow croutons to cool completely before transferring to air tight containers.
- Leftovers can be stored in air tight containers for 2 weeks.
