If you want to make croutons at home, cut any fine bread into cubes; toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and bake at 170°C for 30-40 minutes. If you do not have an oven, toast the bread cubes in a non-stick pan on low heat till golden brown and crunchy. Croutons can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.
