Notes
Flavor variations:
Parmesan: add 2 to 3 tablespoons of fine shredded parmesan.
Rosemary: substitute oregano for rosemary.
Italian: substitute black pepper, salt and oregano for Italian seasoning mix.
Garlic: add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder before tossing.
Baking time is not always the same. Depending on the size of bread cubes, baking sheet and even type of bread, baking time might be different, so check bread from time to time. Croutons are ready when they are crisp, and look golden brown.
Try making croutons with a flavored sourdough bread. Parmesan and pumpkin sourdough are amazing flavors to try on!
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave enough space so the cubes can crisp evenly. With an overcrowded baking sheet, you risk getting croutons that are crispy on the top and bottom, soft on the sides.
