A simple [[Accompaniment|accompaniment]] to [[Soups|soups]] and [[Salads|salads]]. Ideally from un-sliced [[White bread|white bread]], though [[Brown bread|brown bread]] makes an interesting change. They are probably better made with stale [[Bread|bread]].

They can be made in an [[Oven|oven]], but I find a heavy based [[Frying|frying]]-pan to be just as good, and a little quicker.

{{RecipeIngredients
| About 175 g (6 oz) of stale [[Bread|bread]] - crusts removed
| 2 to 3 tablespoons of [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Butter|butter]]
| Fine [[Table salt|table salt]]
| 1 clove of [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled and [[Grated|grated]] (optional)
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Remove the crusts and cut the [[Bread|bread]] into cubes
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] and [[Butter|butter]] in the pan until frothing
| Add the [[Garlic|garlic]] if using and [[Fry|fry]] for 25 seconds
| Toss in the [[Croutons|croutons]] and jiggle the pan so the [[Oil|oil]] is evenly distributed and [[Fry|fry]] until golden [[Brown|brown]]
| Sprinkle with a little [[Salt|salt]] and serve.
| They will keep if stored in an airtight container, but they are so quick and simple to make it's probably easier to make them as you need them.
}}
===Variations===
If , like me you prefer you [[Croutons|croutons]] drier, just use half the [[Oil|oil]] and [[Butter|butter]]. They are just as nice.

Should you want to cook them in the oven, preheat to 180°C (gas mark 4 / 350°F), using a bowl, toss them in just oil, spread out on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. They could also be done under a grill, but watch them closely or they will burn!
===Chef's notes===
As a rough guide, 1 bread roll makes enough croutons for 2 people; [[ciabatta]] rolls make really nice croutons.
