Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bread
Start by cutting the bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. If the bread is not stale, you can toast it lightly in the oven for about 10 minutes to dry it out.
Mixing
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss the mixture until all the bread cubes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Baking

Bake the Croutons
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Stir them halfway through the baking time for even crispiness.
Cooling

Cool and Store
Once the croutons are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
