Stovetop Roasted GarlicCroutons (Copper Pan Method) Featuring: Roasted Garlic Salt
Ingredients:
4 cups cubed bread (sourdough, French, or ciabatta)
2-3 tosp olive oil or melted butter
1-1½ tsp Sloan Roasted Garlic Salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
Heat a copper pan over medium heat.
Add the bread cubes directly to the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
Toss continually for 1-2 minutes to lightly coat the bread.
Sprinkle generously with Roasted Garlic Salt.
Continue tossing and toasting for 6-10 minutes, until each cube is golden and crisp.
Remove from heat and let cool - they'll firm up as they rest.
Taste and add a pinch more Roasted Garlic Salt if you want a bigger flavor pop.
Tips:
Copper pans toast evenly, so watch for color-these can crisp up fast.
For ultra-crunchy croutons, keep the heat just under medium and go slow.
