Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons

Ingredients:

• 2-1/2 tablespoons butter (or oil, if making diary-free and casein-free) (I used unsalted butter)
• 3 - 4 slices of Udi's White Sandwich Bread (I used 2 ends and 2 regular slices, equaling 2.7 oz. in weight) or other gluten-free bread of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions:

1. Stack bread slices on top of one another and cut them into strips; then into cubes; between 1/4 x 1/4-inch and 1/3 x 1/3-inch.
2. Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan.
3. Add bread cubes to frying pan and stir to coat with butter.
4. Add seasonings and toss to distribute thoroughly.
5. Fry on medium-high to high heat until crunchy and golden brown. If they start to brown too quickly, lower the heat. If they are not yet crunchy, you can always leave them out to stale naturally and they will be nice and crunchy. You can speed up this process by allowing the dry out in a warm oven.
