Here's how to make croutons at home, in less than 30 minutes! All you need is a few simple ingredients, and you get to control which bread you use to accommodate any dietary needs.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and cut the bread into 1-inch cubes.
Transfer the cubes to a bowl, and add in the olive oil. Toss well, to distribute the oil as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the garlic, oregano, and salt over the top, and toss again.
Spread the bread cubes out on a large baking sheet, then bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove the pan and stir well, then return to the oven to bake until the croutons are lightly golden and crisp to the touch, about 5 more minutes.
Let the croutons cool completely on the pan, then use them on your favorite salad or soup. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
