lettuce make croutons

We eat and enjoy a lot of salads in the summer

 which gives me another excuse to make a loaf of bread 

for homemade croutons.

I make a nice herby loaf of bread in my bread machine using an assortment of herbs...

garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese and more.

I let my loaf sit a few days to dry out before I cut into cubes 

and season again with a good olive oil, more garlic and onion powder,

 sage and  my own dehydrated parsley.

Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake for 6 to 8 minutes 

in a 450 degree oven.

Watch carefully, I don't like burned croutons.

Have a great weekend!
