Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat it to 350°F/180°C/gas 4.
- Toast the baguette slices very lightly in a traditional toaster or toaster oven. Allow to cool. Mix the oil, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl. With a pastry brush, brush both sides of the toast with this mixture, and then cut the slices into 1/2-in/12-mm cubes. Transfer the cubes to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. Allow to cool completely before using. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: For the best croutons, use a sturdy bread that will hold its shape when toasted, such as a baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough.
- Cut the bread into cubes: The size of your croutons is up to you, but 1-inch cubes are a good starting point.
- Toss the bread cubes with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown evenly and develop a delicious flavor.
- Toast the croutons in the oven: Spread the croutons in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use croutons in a variety of dishes: Croutons can be added to salads, soups, casseroles, and more. They can also be used as a topping for bruschetta or crostini.
Conclusion:
Croutons are a delicious and versatile addition to many dishes. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can use croutons to add flavor and texture to your favorite recipes.
