Question 1

How do I keep homemade croutons crispy?

Accepted Answer

Make sure the croutons cool completely before storing and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Moisture is the biggest enemy of crispy croutons.

Question 2

Can I add cheese to sourdough croutons?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Freshly grated parmesan added before baking makes delicious cheesy croutons. Keep an eye on them so the cheese doesn’t brown too quickly.

Question 3

Can I make sourdough croutons without butter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option with a deeper, savory flavor.

Question 4

Can I use fresh sourdough bread instead of stale?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but slightly stale sourdough works best for crispy croutons. If your bread is fresh, let it sit out for a few hours or toast it lightly before baking.
