Homemade Croutons

A great use of leftover bread - especially bread that's a little stale.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf bread (French, homemade, something hearty)
  • olive oil
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • basil
  • oregano
  • red pepper flakes (optional - definitely would add a kick!)

Instructions

  • Cut bread into cubes about 1 inch square.
  • On a large cookie sheet, spread bread cubes and sprinkle with olive oil.  Don't overdo it, but be a little generous.
  • Sprinkle with seasonings - garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil and oregano is what I use.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes.
  • Let cool before devouring!
