Last time when we went food shopping we were after some nice croutons to add to our salad. Once we notice that you can pay up to £2 for a small bag of croutons, Mark decided to save this money and make some on his own.
This is actually a great way of “recycling” your left over bread. And, once made and placed in a zip bag or an air tight container, they will last a week or until you have a need for them.
So what do you need to make quick and easy homemade croutons?
- - Bread – any bread will work, so the choice is yours, but remember the “nicer” the bread the “nicer” the crouton we used a multi-seed rustic from Waitrose
- - 3tbsp of olive oil
- - Salt
- - Pepper, ideally fresh ground pepper
- - A pinch of mixed herbs
Preparation:
if you want your croutons to be more elegant remove the crust

That looks very interesting…
Always useful and good to have on hand.
Lovely. I liked the bread you picked 🙂
haha, thank you
We actually forgot about the bread, this is the only reason is wasn’t eaten.
This is happening sometimes when people put things in the wrong place.
I am blaming house guests…
