Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Bread cubes Slightly stale works best
  • 2 tbsp Butter melted For rich flavor
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil Helps even crisping
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced Fresh only
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder Boosts flavor depth
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder Subtle sweetness
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano Optional but nice
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Adjust later
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or hands
  • Knife

Method
 

Step 1: Prep the bread
  1. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Not too small—they shrink in the oven.
  3. 👉 Texture tip: uneven cubes = better crunch variety.
Step 2: Mix the flavor base
  1. In a bowl:
  2. melted butter
  3. olive oil
  4. garlic
  5. garlic powder
  6. onion powder
  7. oregano
  8. salt + pepper
  9. Smells strong already—that’s a good sign.
Step 3: Toss properly (don’t rush this)
  1. Add bread cubes.

  2. Mix slowly so every piece gets coated.
  3. The first time I rushed this… half the batch was bland.
Step 4: Spread on tray
  1. Single layer only.

  2. No stacking.
  3. This is where I messed up early—crowded tray = soggy croutons.
Step 5: Bake low and steady
  1. Oven at 180°C (350°F).

  2. Bake for 12–18 minutes.
  3. Flip halfway.
  4. 👉 You’ll hear a slight dry crackle when they’re ready.
Step 6: Cool = final crisp
  1. Take them out.

  2. Let them sit.
  3. They get crispier as they cool—don’t judge too early.

Notes

Add them last-minute to salads so they stay crisp.
