  • 4 slices of bread or 2 cups of crusts
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  2. Put the oil, seasoning and any optional flavourings into a large bowl.
  3. 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.
