Homemade Whole-Wheat Croutons

Making your own croutons is so easy, you’ll never buy store-bought again! Made with four ingredients you probably already have. Using whole wheat bread makes this recipe 100% clean/real.

• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins
• Total Time: 12 mins
• Yield: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 4-6 slices whole wheat bread, cubed
• 2-3 tablespoons  Olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• other spices to taste, like crushed red pepper,garlic powder, onion powder, etc. (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix cubed bread, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other spices you desire in a large bowl until bread is evenly coated.
2. Transfer to a parchment covered baking sheet
3. Spread evenly so croutons do not overlap as much as possible.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes, or until toasted.

I make my own, but never knew a recipe was needed! 

I like, at least to use for my dressing for Thanksgiving, to use sourdough bread.   I buy a whole, unsliced loaf, to cut into square bits because I think that works best.  Sometimes I don't find whole loaves at the store and that's a drag but usually I can find one.   

One way I find that works well for getting the bread coated is a large, like a gallon-size, ziplock baggie.   After I put the bread, olive oil, seasonings, etc, in, I keep it fat with air and zip it up, then shake vigorously between my hands.
