Notes

This recipe can be tailor-made to suit your taste. Do you love focaccia, whole wheat, multi-grain, pumpernickel, or another type of bread? They all make fantastic croutons. Mix it up further by using your favorite Gustare Extra Virgin Varietal or Infused Olive Oil to create the flavor combination you crave.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature 2-3 weeks (as if they would actually remain that long!) or freeze in a ziplock for 2-3 months. Croutons may be re-crisped in the oven if they soften.
