HOW TO MAKE CROUTONS

Very easy and useful, so much nicer than the ready made available in the shops. Make a point of making them when you have a surplus of bread, as it can be kept in the freezer. 

1 few days old bread, cut into small cubes

1/2 cup sunflower oil

25 g (1 oz) butter, melted

2 large garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp. dry or fresh parsley

1/4 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

1/4 tsp. thyme

1/4 tsp. celery seed

pinch of salt

 

 

  • Combine ingredients (except bread).

  • Cut the bread into squares,then pour the seasoning mixture onto baking pan and stir the croutons to coat. Make sure all are coated,

  • Arrange in single layers on cookie sheets.

  • Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 10-15 minutes or until golden and fragrant.

TIPS

* Store the extra croutons in an airtight container. Can keep as is for 4 weeks, or they may be frozen for up to 6 months.
