Homemade Croutons in the Oven
Description
Croutons make an excellent snack with beer. They are also served with salads and first courses. They are very simple and quick to prepare. The best part is that you can use not only fresh bread but also bread that has gone slightly stale. The flavor will not be spoiled at all. Serve the appetizer at the table.
