This easy recipe for homemade gluten free sourdough croutons is a great way to use leftover sourdough bread. These croutons are baked and delicous. This recipe tells you how to make your own gluten free croutons.
I used my Gluten Free Sourdough Starter and my Gluten Free Sourdough Bread recipes to make these croutons. I like to leave the bread cubes out for a day or two so they are stale. They hold together so much better if the bread is stale.
Then I take the stale bread cubes and in a bowl toss them with the olive oil and seasoning. They bake for 10 minutes and are ready to use. Honestly, I can eat these right off the baking tray they are so good. They store nicely in an airtight container for a couple of days.
How long do homemade gluten free sourdough croutons last?
The croutons need to be stored in an airtight container or bag. They should last for 3-4 days. If you need to store them for longer than that you can freeze them. I don't suggest storing them in your refrigerator because you will lose some of the crunch.
Can I make breadcrumbs out of croutons?
Yes! These work perfect for seasoned breadcrumbs. Let the croutons cool completely. Then using a food processor pulse them until you have your desired consistency. Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze them for later.
What are gluten free croutons made from?
For this recipe I used my Gluten Free Sourdough Bread. I make the loaf of bread and then save the heals and a few pieces for croutons. It's also great if you have gluten free bread that is getting stale.
You want stale gluten free bread to make croutons. They have a lot more crunch and hold together better if the gluten free bread is stale. You can accomplish this by cubing up the bread and letting it set on your counter for a day or two.
