The Best Homemade Croutons for Caesar salad

Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, then cut into strips and dice into medium-sized pieces.

Transfer the diced bread to a large mixing bowl.

Melt 4 tbsp of salted butter and add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl with the bread.

Season the bread with 1 tsp of salt, 2 tsp of granulated garlic powder, and 2 heaping tsp of dried oregano.

Toss the bread cubes with your hands to coat them evenly with the mixture.

Transfer the coated bread cubes to a baking tray in an even layer.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the croutons for 20 to 25 minutes, checking for golden color.

Let the croutons cool completely before serving.
