8cupscubed, roughly cut up bread or bunsapproximately 15 slices
1cupbutter
1-1½Tablespoononion powder
1-1½Tablespoongarlic powder
1teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cut your bread into cubes any size you like, they don't have to be perfect and they don't have to be all the same size!
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, once melted add the onion powder, garlic powder and salt - with a whisk give it a good mixing - if you let it sit before pouring over the bread be sure to give a quick stir again.
Place all your bread cubes in a large mixing bowl, pour your butter mixture over the bread cubes and stir to coat.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated bread cubes out as best you can in a single layer - again we aren't looking for perfection or for them to not be touching - this way each crouton will be just a little different in texture and crunchiness!
Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes. I like to give mine a toss about 10 minutes into the baking and then every 5 minutes or so after that until they are done to my liking. We eat a very soft crouton with light toasting - you can totally bake them longer to a crunchier crouton if you like!
