Frequently Asked Questions About Sourdough croutons
How do you make sourdough croutons at home?
Sourdough croutons are easy to make by cutting sourdough bread into cubes, tossing them with oil and seasonings, and baking until crisp. Turn the cubes partway through so they brown more evenly. Let them cool before storing.
What can you use sourdough croutons for?
Sourdough croutons add crunch to soups and salads, and they can also be served with dips. Try them on tomato soup, in a green salad, or as a crunchy topping for roasted vegetables.
What makes sourdough croutons different from regular croutons?
Sourdough croutons are made from sourdough bread, which gives them a distinctive tang and a texture shaped by the loaf. Regular croutons can be made from many kinds of bread, so their flavor and texture vary with the bread used.
Can you make sourdough croutons with stale bread?
Yes, stale sourdough bread works well for sourdough croutons. Cut it into cubes and toss with oil and seasonings before baking; using bread that has begun to dry out is also a practical way to avoid wasting it.
How do you keep sourdough croutons crispy?
Keep sourdough croutons crispy by cooling them completely and storing them in an airtight container in a dry place. Add them to soup or salad just before serving, since moisture from the food quickly softens their crunchy texture.
Can you make sourdough croutons in an air fryer?
Yes, sourdough croutons can be made in an air fryer. Toss bread cubes lightly with oil and seasonings, then cook in a single layer, shaking the basket occasionally so they crisp and brown evenly.
Can you freeze sourdough croutons?
Yes, sourdough croutons can be frozen in an airtight freezer-safe container. They may lose some crispness after thawing, so warm them in the oven or air fryer before serving to help restore their crunch.
Why are my sourdough croutons chewy instead of crunchy?
Sourdough croutons usually turn chewy when they have not dried out enough during cooking or have absorbed moisture in storage. Bake them until crisp throughout, cool them fully, and keep them sealed away from humidity.
What seasonings go well with sourdough croutons?
Garlic, black pepper, dried herbs, and grated hard cheese all pair well with sourdough croutons. Choose seasonings to suit the dish: herbs work nicely with salads, while garlic and pepper complement many soups.
Do sourdough croutons make you gain weight?
Sourdough croutons do not cause weight gain on their own, but large or frequent portions can add substantial energy to a meal. Using a small handful as a topping rather than making them the main part of a dish helps keep portions in check.

What is Sourdough croutons?
Sourdough croutons are cubes of sourdough bread toasted until crisp, a simple way to use bread in a form long associated with French cooking. Their tangy, fermented flavour and browned edges bring more character than plain toasted bread.
They are commonly scattered over salads or added to soups for crunch, from a Caesar-style salad to a bowl of tomato soup. Since they are bread-based, they are mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein and fibre. For a lighter topping, bake them with just a little oil and use a modest handful rather than letting them take over the dish.
