How to Make Homemade Sourdough Croutons

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Remove the crusts from your sourdough loaf and cut the soft bread into 1-inch cubes. (If using day-old bread, you may skip this step)
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the oil mixture.
  5. Spread the croutons in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing. (For extra crispiness, let cool completely before storing)
