Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 oz. country-style bread, torn into 1" irregular pieces (about 4 cups)
10 garlic cloves, smashed
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place bread in a large bowl. Cook garlic and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, swirling often, until foaming subsides, butter turns golden brown, and garlic is fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Drizzle garlic butter over bread and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread out bread mixture on a small rimmed baking sheet. Bake croutons until deep golden brown and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Let cool, then pluck out and discard garlic cloves.
  • Do Ahead: Croutons can be made 1 week ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
