I`m not a fan of croutons but my husband is, so I made them for him and end up eating it to. I used sundried tomato bread. These came out fabulous. Very easy!

I love trying different recipes for homemade croutons. The directions were simple and clear. I smashed the garlic with 1/2 tsp. table salt, since I didn't have kosher salt. I used 3 slices of white bread and they cooked in about 10 to 12 minutes in my oven. To others who might try this recipe, watch them closely in the oven, they do brown rather quickly. Excellent recipe Derf, thanks for sharing.

Good flavor. I had dried minced onions on hand so I added about 1 tablespoon of those to the oil mixture. It makes no sense to purchase croutons when you can make these tasty ones for just pennies.

Very tasty and very easy. I used them for Kittencal's caesar salad, Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad. I like that the recipe has olive oil as opposed to butter, which I am trying to avoid. My proportions were more or less but the croutons came out very tasty and perfect for the salad. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Fantastic! I had a quarter of a loaf of homemade 9 grain whole wheat bread that I didn't want to get moldy and had a pot of split pea soup simmering so made these croutons for on top of the soup. Used garlic powder along with three cloves of garlic and used the tip about tossing in a plastic bag (worked great, thanks). Will never buy croutons again. Thanks for the recipe!

I've always loved homemade croutons. With a recipe this quick and easy, I can't imagine why anyone would buy those stale ol' things from the grocery store! I used twice the garlic but didn't use quite as much olive oil, closer to 2 T. We didn't really miss it, except when eatting individual pieces as a snack.

I doctored this one up a bit. I used 3 tbs melted butter and ~ 1/8 cup olive oil, mixed with the fresh minced garlic, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper. Tossed this with the bread cubes in a plastic bag, then baked according to the recipe. Turned out fabulous!! 15 minutes was the perfect amount of time, too. Thank you for a great "homemade" version!!

I can't believe I've waited so long to make my own croutons. I usually just grab a bag from the grocery shelf. Why????? Now that I've tried your recipe Derf, there's no turning back. So easy and the flavour is wonderful. I did add 1 tsp each of fresh ground black pepper and dried parsley. Thanks so much for changing my bad habit. lol

Nice croutons! I added a touch of granulated garlic for a bit more garlic flavor, and some Parmesan. I like that this recipe used healthy olive oil instead of butter. Thanks for posting ~ I'll make these again!

Loved these croutons! I had a caesar salad all prepared that needed some croutons so I ended up using the bread we had on hand, slices of whole wheat bread. The croutons ended up really airy and light because of the bread, and I really liked it that way! I'm usually not a fan of croutons but store bought croutons and even croutons from restaurants have nothing on homemade ones. Thanks :)

Oh my, what garlic goodness! I took an extra step and heated the olive oil with the garlic in it over a low flame for about 5 minutes, just to infuse the oil. I used leftover cheddar tabasco bread and also sprinkled parmesan cheese on them. I didn't add salt because of all the cheese. These are the best croutons I've ever had!

So quick and easy, and a great way to use up any left over bread. DH said these were better than store bought - it helps that he is a garlic bread freak :)

Very easy, much better than any store bought croutons. I made these to go with some spinach dip so I cut them a little bigger, soooo good! Thank you!

I had a chunk of leftover Italian bread to make croutons from and this recipe was perfect. Crispy, tasty, and simple. Can't wait to serve them up on a chicken caesar salad for dinner tonight! Thanks for this very delicious recipe.

Perfect -- easy, convenient, tasty! I made a spinach caesar (!) and these went so well with it. A note for those of us who don't have bread around long enough for it to go stale, I put my diced cubes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and aimed a portable fan toward it set to "low". An hour later, stale-ized bread. Thanks, Derf!

Awesome croutons! I used garlic salt instead of kosher salt and wheat bread in place of white. I also added some pepper. These were great! Thank you!
