Preparation

This is a typical "from scratch" recipe and highly dependent on how many croutons you need. Better to make too much than too little because you can store it in a plastic bag to use again later in the week.

​

Preheat your oven (top heat) to 200 degrees.

​

Cut the bread into cubes.

Throw a good dash (5 tbsp) of olive oil into a large container (big enough to hold all the bread), press the garlic into it (and throw the leftovers in the garlic press into the oil as well.

Add a little stock powder (2 tsp).

​

Quickly toss the bread pieces in the garlic oil with your hands so that all pieces are covered with a little oil.

​

Place the bread on the oven baking tray and bake for 10 minutes (depending on your oven), turning the pieces once they are nicely browned. Keep a close eye and stay alert, because sometimes things go fast and they are burned! In that case, discard and start again at the top.

​

Delicious on a salad, in soup or to eat on its own.
