Channeling Grandma D'Onofrio

In an attempt not to be wasteful I made homemade croutons tonight with some leftover Italian bread.  I think Grandma would be proud of my attempt to use up everything!

Croutons

Ingredients: 

Nearly 1 loaf Italian bread beginning to get stale
4 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons olive oil
Ranch dressing packet

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cut bread into small cubes, put into a medium sized bowl.
In a small bowl, mix butter, olive oil and ranch dressing powder to taste.
Pour over bread cubes and mix until evenly coated.

Spread bread cubes out on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, stirring about every 2 minutes to keep the bread cubes from burning.  Cool before putting in a baggie or air tight container.
