For Loki

This post is for Loki whom requested the following:

Homemade Croutons

1-2 loaves french bread (I use Trader Joe's bake at home loaves as well as homemade ones)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp powdered Ranch 

or

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp italian seasoning herb blend

Preheat the oven to 325F.

Cut the bread into cubes and put in a small-medium bowl.  Sprinkle the olive oil and the seasonings over the bread and toss to coat as evenly as possible.

Spread the croutons on a baking sheet evenly.  Bake at 325F for about 5-10 minutes depending on your oven and perfered donesness.  

I like mine crunchy on the outside yet soft inside, so usually i turn my oven off after 5 minutes and let them continue to cook in the oven for another 3-5 minutes before removing.  

enjoy!
