Ingredients
- 6 cups sourdough bread* torn into 1-inch pieces or diced into ¾- inch cubes
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the bread cubes with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your choice of seasonings and/or cheese, tossing again to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Turn the croutons halfway through, after 15 minutes, for even browning. Once they’re firm and fully crisp, remove from the oven and let them cool completely before storing*.
Notes
- *Use day-old sourdough for the best texture. It should be slightly dried out. 6 cups of sourdough bread is about 8 to 10 oz.
- *Bake the croutons until they're fully crispy; if they remain soft, they’ll be chewy and spoil more quickly during storage.
- Storing the Croutons:
- Storing the Croutons:
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container in a low-humidity area for up to a week or longer in some cases. If cheese was used, store for 3-5 days as it may spoil more quickly.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container in a low-humidity area for up to a week or longer in some cases. If cheese was used, store for 3-5 days as it may spoil more quickly.
- Store in a cool, dry area, and keep them away from humidity to prevent croutons from becoming stale or moldy.
