Homemade croutons

Loaf of day old bread, chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
3 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Layer chopped bread on cookie sheet. Mix garlic and butter/oil and evenly coat the bread. Bake the bread until its as crisp as you like. I usually go for about 5 minutes with me tossing the bread every minute to minute and a half.
