Best Croutons Come From Good Bread
In my opinion, the best croutons are chunky, not small skinny croutons like that come with salads at a fast food joint.
So use a good bread to begin with like thick-sliced or a loaf of French or Italian bread.
I make my own bread so I can slice it as thick as I wish.
How to Make the Best Croutons
Ingredients
- Sliced bread
- Butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder (not garlic salt) for each slice of bread
Directions
- Butter both sides of the bread
- Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of garlic on each slice of bread (1/8 teaspoon on each side)
- Cut slices into 1/2 inch cubes
- Spread evenly on an ungreased cookie sheet
- Bake at 400 degrees F. about 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir and/or flip them over halfway through baking to toast evenly
Delicious sprinkled on a good tomato soup as well as salad.
Takeaway Truth
To be honest, Darling Hubby likes eating these homemade croutons—with or without parmesan—for a snack instead of potato chips.
