Background

When your bread goes stale, don’t throw it away, make croutons from it (even from ready-slice bread). These garlic and herb croutons can be added to winter soups, stews, salads and traybakes. You can use up white, rustic, gluten-free, wholemeal breads and baguette & ciabatta too for this recipe.

Ingredients

4 pieces of stale sliced bread or 2 large 2cm thick rustic bread
1 tsp dried oregano or marjoram
1 tsp mixed herbs (Provencal, Italian etc)
2 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
3 or 4 Tbsp Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C or set the grill to medium.
First check the bread for any mould and smell it too. If it’s ok and it doesn’t smell bad, then you can make croutons from it.
Cut the bread into cubes or rustic chunks and toss with the herbs, garlic and about 2 Tbsp olive oil. Scatter them into a baking tray and season with salt & pepper. You can add some chilli flakes too.
Bake or grill for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Let the croutons cool, then transfer them to a jar. Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dry place.
