Homemade Croutons ( Oven-baked )



I like to eat Caesar salad, it is quite expensive to take a plate of Caesar salad at the restaurant..I went through my cookbook and realized that it is so easy to make it at home..But before i can make Caesar salad, first i need to prepare Croutons (small piece of sauteed or rebake bread)..




croutons

There are two method to make croutons, either pan fry or oven bake..I tried both ways, and we prefer oven baked croutons, more crunchy than pan fry version..and easy to prepare..

Method
1. Use a scissor, trim the crusts off, cut into even- sized small cubes (can get about 50 small cubes).

I usually just pan fry them if I'm making a small quantity but oven baked certainly looks more healthy.

Yes u r right, I like to have Caeser salad too but outside is so pricy right for a plate. The oven baked croutons are more evenly bake ..look at those golden crust.

Homemade croutons must taste better and cost a lot less, didn't realize they are so easy to make too. Thank you for the recipe, it would be very nice to make the croutons to go with soup as well!
