Croutons – Krutony
There are many traditional soups in the Czech Republic that have croutons, such as garlic soup and leek soup. Croutons enhance the flavor and texture of the soups. I can’t imagine garlic soup without them. Making croutons is also a great way to cook with older bread that might otherwise go unused.
Tips:
– Perfect addition to Garlic Soup and Leek Soup
– If you want to make croutons for garlic soup it is better with rye or any dark bread like my Rye Bread. These instructions
are the same regardless of what kind of bread you use.
– I would not recommend using any bread that is older than 3 days. It could be too dry to slice.
Serves: 4
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
Day-old or two-day-old bread
(enough to fill a regular size frying pan)
1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
- Cut bread into small cubes about ⅓ inch (8 mm) and put into a regular size frying pan.
- Drizzle 1 Tbsp oil evenly on the cubes of bread and turn stove on high.
- Roast and stir until crispy (about 5 minutes).
