Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread 3 days old
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the sour dough bread into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder salt, and pepper.
- Use a large spoon to toss the cubes and evenly coat them in the oil and toppings.
- Spread the cubes around, leaving space around each one so that the edges can crisp up. Use 2 baking sheets if needed.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. (Mine were done after 10 minutes exactly.)
- Leave them on the baking sheet to cool. Once fully cooled, store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Notes
- French Bread and Ciabatta Bread are also perfect for making croutons.
- To extend the shelf life of homemade croutons, omit the Parmesan cheese and store for up to two weeks.
