- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 tsp rosemary
- 2 tsp sage
- 2 tsp garlic

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed einkorn bread, melted butter, rosemary, sage, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the bread cubes are evenly coated with the herb-infused butter.
- Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking trays.
- Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, rotate the trays to ensure even baking.
- Toss the croutons gently to promote even toasting, and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the croutons turn golden brown and crisp.
- Once the croutons are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
- Store the cooled croutons in an airtight container for immediate use or long-term storage. These delicious croutons can be kept fresh for up to 6 months.
