Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package(s) rye bread (light or dark)
1 package(s) white or wheat bread
1 cup(s) olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 cup(s) parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon(s) garlic powder
1 tablespoon(s) italian seasoning
1 tablespoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Cut bread into 1 inch cubes
  • Put in large mixing bowl & drizzle olive oil over the bread until well coated
  • Sprinkle cheese, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and salt & pepper over bread cubes and mix
  • Transfer to a large baking pan or cookie sheet and arrange to one layer
  • Bake for 10 minutes, remove pan from oven and stir croutons
  • Bake for 10 more minutes or until desired crunchiness
  • Cool on pan and transfer to air-tight container
