THE BEST EVER CROUTONS
These croutons are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside and the best I've ever had. One of the restaurants (Ruby Tuesday's) we go to told me that their croutons were deep fried, so I just had to try my hand at it. Well, it worked and now when I want to indulge just a little I whip up a batch to eat on a salad, my favorite soup or just munch on them with some homemade ranch dressing. Either way, I have satisfied my own craving for something so wonderful I am content for awhile. haha Delicious crunchy/chewy bites that you can add for a finishing touch to a special meal.

Steps:
- Cut up your pumperkickel bread in 1 inch squares or a little larger if you want. I only deep fried them for 10 seconds or less. You want them to be crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
- Drain them on a paper towel and sprinkle your garlic salt or beau monde seasonings for a different taste.
- Now you can enjoy them on a salad or just with some homemade ranch dressing.
- Here are the croutons from Ruby Tuesday's on a beautiful salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread. Stale or day-old bread works best. Cut it into cubes of about 1 inch.
- Toss the bread cubes in olive oil and seasonings. Use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. You can also add herbs, such as rosemary or thyme.
- Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the croutons will steam instead of crisp.
- Bake the croutons at a high temperature. This will help them to get crispy. The exact temperature and baking time will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on the croutons and remove them from the oven when they are golden brown.
- Let the croutons cool completely before storing them. Store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Conclusion:
Croutons are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be added to salads, soups, and casseroles. They can also be used as a topping for bruschetta or crostini. With so many different ways to use them, croutons are a great way to add flavor and texture to your favorite dishes.
