Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add bread, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss with your hands. After spread evenly into a single layer.
Bake croutons for 20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Then cool completely to help them crisp up.
Notes
Store: In a resealable Ziploc bag or airtight container for up to a week. If they lose crispness, bake them in the oven or air fryer for 5 minutes at 325 degrees F.
You can use any other rustic bread like whole grain, ciabatta etc. to make croutons.
