How to make it
- Slice up your stale bread, up into crouton sized bites and place into bowl.
- Drizzle slowly a little olive oil over bread cubes. Stir up bread cubes, till coated with the olive oil.
- I usually drizzle, stir, then drizzle a little more and stir again, this way all cubes are lightly "basted" with the olive oil.
- You will do the same procedure as above as you add each spice.
- If you don't ( I have learned this from experience), one half of your bread cubes will have the seasonings, the other half not)
- And by adding the olive oil first, your chosen herbs and spices will stick to your bread cubes.
- Add each herb and spice, a shake here a dash there...depending upon your bread you chose for this task, select your herbs accordingly.
- My sun-dried tomato bread had lots of garlic, so I didn't need to add much garlic powder for example.
- Place and level coated bread cubes on cookie sheet and place in oven.
- After five minutes, check on them, using metal spatula or spoon turn over your bread cubes, and bake for another 3-5 minutes.
- Let cool, then store in an air-tight container with lid in the refrigerator and enjoy!
