I said to put some small recipes separately, such as croutons - as if everyone knows them but it's good to repeat and possibly learn something new. I knew them, but I saw this method at the restaurant where I had practiced and since then I have only done so.

They can be used in soups-creams, salads, and simple with a beer or tomato juice.

Ingredients

Metric US

●

White bread

200 g

you can use any bread, I usually use older bread that no one wants to eat. Here in the recipe I used wholemeal homemade bread.

●

Olive oil

3 tbsp

or sunflower oil

●

Salt

0.5 tsp

add to taste, if you want them saltier or less salty

●

Garlic powder

1 tsp

●

Oregano

0.5 tsp

a must

Step by step

Cut the bread into small cubes and place in an oven tray.

Add oil, salt and all spices.

Mix well with your hands or a spatula, so that the spices and oil reach all the pieces of bread.

Place the tray in a preheated oven at 180 degrees, preferably with ventilation - but not mandatory.

Be careful on the phase because they are made very quickly, it would be good to mix them a little until they are done - at least 1-2 times.

When lightly browned, they are ready. Be careful because the transition from slightly browned to burnt is very short, they immediately turn black if you are not careful.
