Bread croutons

Cookinero 19 Jul 2025

Delicious crispy bread croutons do not necessarily have to be bought in the store. They can be made at home without preservatives, flavorings and colorings. To do this, you will need bread and your favorite spices. We chose paprika and a mixture of Provencal herbs, but take any other spices to your taste. For example, chicken seasoning, then you will get croutons with the taste of chicken.
