Croutons in the oven
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. This method of preparing croutons is the healthiest and most diet-friendly. You can also make croutons in a pan, which takes even less time. However, the evenness of baking is worse this way compared to using an oven. Of course, the tastiest croutons are those with garlic, cooked in oil and salted. But that's a topic for another time.

Step 1
For croutons, I used rye bread. In my opinion, it's the tastiest bread for making this kind of snack. So, I slice the loaf into regular pieces, then cut them into cubes.

Step 2
This time I decided to bake croutons without adding any spices except salt. If you have a different goal, simply drizzle the sliced bread with vegetable oil and sprinkle with any flavor seasonings. I spread the cubes on a baking sheet and put them in the oven to bake.

Step 3
I leave the croutons at 100 degrees, that is, on a low heat. It will take 1 hour for the bread to bake and dry properly. Be sure to stir the croutons several times during baking.

Step 4
After the required time, turn off the oven. You will be able to smell the baked bread after just half an hour. All ovens are different, so be sure to check for doneness. Bread burns very quickly. Rye croutons are healthier than regular bread. They go wonderfully with many soups and salads. Enjoy your delicious and healthy result!
