Homemade croutons are always a big hit. Until I discovered how easy it is to make them, I used to omit croutons from all recipes that called for them. (The store-bought ones didn’t appeal to me at all.) I love to make my croutons out of challah, which has a subtle hint of sweetness.
Croutons will last at least 2 weeks, if cravings can be controlled and they’re stored properly. Once they are fully cooled, keep them in large, sealable plastic bags.
