Sourdough Croutons
Crisp and crunchy homemade Sourdough Croutons! This three-ingredient recipe is so easy. All you need is sourdough bread, a good olive oil and seasonings. Better than any store-bought bag of croutons!
Servings: 8 Cups
Ingredients
- 1 loaf 24 oz. sourdough bread
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper or black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- Cut the bread into 3/4-inch thick slices and remove the crusts. Cut the slices into cubes and place in a large bowl.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil along the inside edge of the bowl and toss the bread cubes. Continue drizzling the oil, one tablespoon at a time and tossing with the bread until the bread cubes are evenly coated with olive oil.
- Spread the oiled bread cubes onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt and the pepper.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring at the half-way time, until the croutons are crisp and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet. Store in a closed container.
Notes
- For herb seasoned croutons, sprinkle with your favorite dried herbs or a mixture such as Italian seasoning before baking.
- For cheesy croutons, after the croutons have baked for 10 minutes, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese and continue baking until crisp and crunchy.
- Croutons will keep for several weeks in a sealed container. If they loose their crunchiness, place them on a baking sheet and reheat in a 250°F oven for 5-10 minutes to re-crisp.
