Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

4 cups pumpernickel bread cubes (approximately 1/2-inch cubes)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the bread, garlic powder, and salt. Drizzle butter over bread while stirring. Stir well until bread is coated by all ingredients and butter is absorbed.
Spread the bread cubes into an even layer on a sheet pan. Don't crowd the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until crisp. If you're using super fresh bread, they'll take a little longer to become golden brown. If the bread is stale and dry, it may get crispy faster, so keep an eye on it!

COPYCAT RUBY TUESDAY CROUTONS

Copycat Ruby Tuesday Croutons image

I used a fresh loaf of pumpernickel bread when I made copycat Ruby Tuesday croutons. Fresh bread takes longer to bake but I think it makes for a better duplicate of the original: a little crunch but mostly soft and tender crouton.

CROUTONS

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups 1/2-inch cubes crusty Italian bread

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk the butter, olive oil, oregano and garlic salt. Toss with the bread cubes. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use a variety of breads to create different flavors and textures. Stale bread is ideal for croutons, as it will absorb the seasonings and flavors better.
Cut the bread into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
Toss the bread cubes with olive oil, butter, or melted cheese before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp.
Season the croutons with your favorite herbs, spices, and seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and basil are all popular choices.
Bake the croutons in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
