Stale bread is great! You can make croutons, bread crumbs, and stuffing mix from it!! Today I am making some croutons from some old bread.
Chop the bread up into relatively even sized squares and lay out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the microwave and lightly press it on to the sheet of bread squares with a pastry brush. Don't let too much sit in any one place. Sprinkle them with spices. I used salt, pepper, basil, rosemary, oregano, garlic and onion powder, along with some parmesean cheese. Put them in the oven on a low rack. Either turn the oven on to a low heat or put them in a cooling oven after cooking. Let them hang out over night. The next day when they are relatively dry dump them in a paper grocery sack and sprinkle a second layer of spices I just put garlic and cheese this time. Shake the bag several times then melt another tablespoon of butter. Shaking the bag continuously drizzle the melted butter in. Lay them back on the baking sheet and pop into a 225 or so degree oven remove when they are the desired level of crunch. Put up in a Tupperware for delicious salad topping.
