Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bread (French baguette or sourdough)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes, aiming for even sizes to ensure consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss with the mustard mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the croutons cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
