Croutons from a loaf of bread - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use whole wheat bread instead of white bread for this recipe?

Yes! Whole wheat bread works well, though it may have a denser texture and slightly nuttier flavor. Adjust soaking time as needed since it absorbs liquid differently.

What can I substitute for honey in the egg mixture?

Maple syrup, agave nectar, or a pinch of sugar are great alternatives. For a savory twist, omit sweeteners entirely and add herbs like thyme or garlic powder.

How long do these croutons stay fresh, and how should I store them?

Store cooled croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month and reheat in a toaster or oven.

Can I make these croutons vegan?

Absolutely! Use plant-based milk (like almond or oat), replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia egg, and swap butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover croutons to keep them crispy?

Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as they’ll turn soggy.

Can I bake these instead of pan-frying for a lighter option?

Yes! Arrange soaked bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

What other toppings pair well with these sweet croutons besides jam?

Try fresh berries, yogurt, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For savory versions, top with avocado or smoked salmon.

How can I adjust portions if I only want to make a few croutons?

Reduce ingredients proportionally (e.g., 1 slice of bread, 1 egg, 2 tbsp milk). Mix excess egg wash can be scrambled or used for French toast!
