California Pizza Kitchen's Garlic Herb Croutons

Courses: Sauces

Recipe Ingredients

2 2/3   Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon 15mlDried garlic granules
2 teaspoons 10mlDried basil
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlCayenne pepper
1   Loaf country-style white bread - cut 3/4" to 1" cubes

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and stir in the garlic granules, basil, salt and cayenne.

Put the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the seasoned butter and quickly toss to coat the cubes evenly. Spread the buttered cubes on a baking sheet and bake until they are golden brown on the outside and crisp throughout, about 1 hour. (To test for doneness, cut or carefully bite into one of the larger croutons; its center should be completely dry and crisp.)

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This recipe yields 1 quart.
