Instructions
Oven Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cube day or two old bread into equal size cubes and place in a big bowl. Yes, keep the crusts, that's the best part!
- Melt butter. Add olive oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley,whisk
- Pour butter mixture over cubed bread and toss in the bowl until all the bread is well coated.
- Place onto a parchment lined baking sheets and spread out evenly. Allow room for air to circulate around the cubes. If you crowd them they will just sweat and not dry out.
- Bake until crispy, stirring every so often – about 20-30 mins, total time depends on how dry your bread is to start.
Air Fryer Instructions
- Pop seasoned bread cubes into your air fryer basket/basket tray and bake at 375 F for 5 - 7 minutes or until desired crispyness. Toss halfway through as needed.
