Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Scatter the bread cubes on a 13 x 18-in (33 x 46-cm) baking sheet (for easier cleanup, line it with heavy-duty aluminum foil).
- Directly on the baking sheet, toss the bread cubes with the melted butter and herbs. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, tossing once, until the bread cubes are golden brown and crisp. Let cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
