  • Use up your stale bread. Make croutons to revive your gluten-free bread and not let it go to waste!
  • Croutons are scrumptious snack. You can use a fiber-rich gluten-free bread like Bread SRSLY's rice-free, gum-free sourdough to make your croutons more filling.

  • Use a good gluten-free bread. Bread SRSLY's sourdough is rich in flavor and made from wholesome ingredients. They make the best croutons!
  • Use stale bread. You want your croutons to be crunchy, and to do that, you want to moisture drawn out of your bread through staling. Leave it out for a few hours on the counter to stale. 
  • Season! Our favorite basics are salt, pepper, and garlic. You can also toss in parmesan cheese for a more rich and cheesy flavor.

INGREDIENTS


DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. 
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil or butter. Add the bread cubes and stir frequently. If the bread absorbs all of the olive oil or butter before they start to golden, add more as needed. 
  3. Taste a crouton or two after they've been golden for a minute or two, and remove them from the heat once they meet the crispiness-level of your choosing.
  4. For a little bit of extra flavor, toss in a garlic clove or chopped herbs right as the croutons start to golden. Be careful to not let garlic brown!
  5. Serve immediately or within a few hours - these savory morsels are best when eaten fresh.
