Garlic Croutons

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 large garlic cloves, pressed
• 3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 4 large dinner yeast rolls, cubed (about 3 1/4 cups cubes)

Preparation

1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper; sauté 30 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in bread cubes until evenly coated.
2. Spread bread cubes in an even layer on a lightly greased aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan.
3. Bake at 300° for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and crisp, stirring occasionally. Spread in a single layer on wax paper to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
