Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the bread into ¾-inch cubes and add to a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil evenly over bread cubes, add a pinch of salt, and any flavorings as desired.

Step 3

Spread bread cubes out in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning croutons half-way to ensure even browning. (Exact time will vary depending on size of croutons.)

Step 4

Remove from oven and let cool completely. Use immediately in soups or salads, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
