Large mixing bowl
large baking sheet
- 1 loaf Gluten Free Baguette I use Schar Gluten Free Baguette.
- 1 teaspoon homemade Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
While the oven is heating up, prepare the croutons.
Slice the bread into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. You'll get between 4- 5 cups of bread.
Add half of the olive oil and Italian seasoning to the bread and stir until combined.
Pour in the rest of the oil and seasoning and mix again. Use your hands to lightly push the bread into the sides of the bowl to soak up every last bit of oil and seasoning.
Spread the bread cubes onto a large baking sheet, making sure the bread cubes are not overcrowded and in an even layer.
Cook for bread for 15-20 min or until toasted and firm.
Serving size is about 1/3 cup.
Storage
After the croutons cool, place them into an air-tight container or storage bag and store them at room temperature or in the fridge for two weeks.
You can also freeze croutons for up to 3 months. Let the croutons thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter before using them. If you need to crisp the croutons, cook in a 350-degree oven for a few minutes.
