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!
