Sourdough Croutons image

At home, I like making rustic croutons by tearing bread into bite-size pieces. I want ragged edges-they taste great when cooked and crisped. Croutons are best fresh and take only minutes to make.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 small loaf good sourdough bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • If broiling, arrange the broiler rack 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Put the bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle generously with oil. Broil until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Begin checking at 1 minute and stir or turn to brown evenly. If sautéing, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the bottom of the skillet with oil and add the bread. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
