Ingredients

  • 4 cups sourdough bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection or conventional oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the bread cubes into a large stainless steel mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the bread cubes and toss vigorously to ensure even distribution.
  • Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning over the oiled bread and toss again.
  • Spread the seasoned cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan and tossing the croutons at the 7-minute mark to ensure uniform browning.
  • Remove from the oven when the croutons are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to facilitate moisture evaporation and maximize crispness.
