- Transfer bread cubes to a greased, rimmed baking sheet. Spread into an even layer.
- Bake croutons for 20-22 minutes. This will vary depending on size and thickness. Start keeping a close eye on them at the 18 minute mark. Once croutons turn golden brown, remove from oven and let cool on the pan.
