Notes
- Bread: Use gluten-free or regular sourdough. You can also substitute with your favorite gluten-free bread, this recipe works for almost all types of bread.
- Stale Bread Hack: While fresh bread works, using slightly stale sourdough enhances crispiness. If your bread is too fresh, leave it out for an hour or three before cubing.
- Butter: You can substitute the butter with another 1 Tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
- Garlic: I do not recommend using fresh minced garlic, it will burn in the oven.
- Make them Vegan: Use dairy-free butter rather than regular butter to make these croutons 100% vegan.
- Storage Tip: Store leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. While best enjoyed within the first few hours for optimal crispiness, proper storage helps retain their flavor and texture. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make croutons lose their crunch.
