Ingredients

15 slices stale bread
0.25 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons garlic salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the crusts from stale bread slices. Brush both sides of the bread with melted butter. Cut the bread into small, even cubes. Sprinkle generously with garlic salt. Spread the cubes in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, approximately 15 minutes. Allow the croutons to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.
