Easy homemade crouton recipe with everyday bread and loads of dried herbs. I have used normal Indian bread as that is what I get, you can even use any thick loaf if you have. This is a very basic crouton recipe. I have just tossed the bread cubes in herbs mixed olive oil and baked until crispy. There are so many many variations one could do with in crouton recipe.
Ingredients
6 bread slices
1 tablespoons olive oil or soft butter
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
1/4 teaspoon pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Salt
Method- Preheat oven at 180C. Take a cookie sheet or baking tray and line with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Take the bread slices and cut into bite size cubes (I have not trimmed the edges).
- In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients (olive oil, salt, herbs and chili flakes).
- Add the bread cubes to the oil mixture and toss very well.
- Arrange in the cookie sheet as single layer without overlapping. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes. Turn over the bread slices after 5 minutes to ensure uniform baking.
- Once ready serve crouton with soup or store in airtight container.
