Crunchy Homemade Croutons Recipe Video

Make sure you don’t throw out bread anymore! Keep the ends or any pieces of stale bread and make croutons. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious with soups and salads. I used a high fiber, whole grain and flax seed ciabatta bread for these. You can make these and store them in an airtight container for a week. They are so much better than anything you can buy at the store and so super easy to make! You can use just about any kind of bread you have left over to make croutons.
