Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread or 2 cups of crusts

Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Put the oil, seasoning and any optional flavourings into a large bowl.
- Slice the bread into bite-sized squares. Transfer to the mixing bowl and toss with your hands so that all the bread is coated with a little oil.
- Spread the bread out on a baking tray. Bake the croutons for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven, stir and bake for a further 15 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve immediately or allow to cool and dry out before storing in an airtight box.
