Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed French bread cut into one inch cubes (181 grams)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (59.14 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (If you use tables salt, cut this amount in half)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss until the bread is well coated. It often works best to add a little oil and seasonings, toss the mixture, and then add the rest.
    4 cups cubed French bread, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pour the coated pieces of bread onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, tossing them once during baking and rotating the sheet once. Bake until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool a little and then use right away on salad or soups. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
