Instead of throwing away any stale bread, try this recipe for crunchy croutons. Enjoy on salads, on top of casseroles, soups, as stuffing for veggies or fish or meat. I have included variations too!

Steps:
- Cut crust from bread and discard the crust.
- Brush both sides of each slice of bread with olive oil, melted butter or margarine.
- Slice bread into 1/2-inch strips; turn and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Optional:.
- Place bread cubes in a plastic zipper bag; sprinkle with dry salad dressing mix to act as dry seasoning. Securely seal bag and shake, coating bread cubes with dry salad dressing mix.
- Spread cubes flat on baking sheet. Preheat oven to 325°F Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet.
- Note: For bigger croutons, use "Texas Toast" style bread and slice into larger 3/4-inch cubes.
