Slice the bread about 3/4 inches thick. If your bread is already sliced, skip this step.

Cut the slices into cubes about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size, remove crusts if you want. I did not remove my crusts.

Place the cubes on a cookie sheet

Drizzle with olive oil

Sprinkle salt and pepper or your favorite spices

Preheat oven to (300°F) = (148°C)

Bake for 30-40 minutes until desired crispness. Let them cool, and they will be perfect. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Spread the cubes in a single layer on baking sheets

Slice bread into 1/2-3/4 inch cubes.

Let them sit out, uncovered, for 24–48 hours. Toss once or twice to ensure even drying. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
