Recipe Introduction
Posted by: carolinacooker *********Just made some of these yummy creations with Star's instructions and they are wonderful! No need to buy croutons anymore when these homemade ones are so easy and oh soooo tasty! Here is her original post with the recipe and instructions:
have a bag in the fridge that I just took out to munch on and I was thinking how so many people that I know have never even tried making homemade croutons. They are so easy!! And they add so much to your salads. I never buy store bought croutons any more..there is NO comparison in the taste.
List of Ingredients
You can make them any flavors you like. I usually just add a conglomeration of spices. Start out by cubing your bread, any kind will do. I generally make pretty big cubes because we like big croutons. I've used white, wheat, leftover hamburger buns, french, anything. Then place it in a large mixing bowl and spray well with butter spray, tumbling the cubes with a spoon or your fingers. Then start sprinkling away with your spices. I usually use lots of garlic powder, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Tumble the bread crumbs as you sprinkle. Sometimes I use oregano, dry ranch dressing, dried onion flakes...you can use anything you like.
Recipe
When the bread cubes are well saturated and spiced up, spread them on a large cookie sheet and bake at 300 until they are browned and crunchy, stirring around every so often. Some people prefer to bake them at a lower temp for a longer period of time so they get really dried out, but I'm usually in too much of a hurry for that..LOL...
Then store them in a large ziplock in the fridge. They make a great snack too, if you aren't doing low carb stuff!! LOL
