When Baking Bread Goes Wrong.... I Have The Solution!
I saw this recipe for cheddar dill muffins. Sounds amazing, right? Well, I don't know where I went wrong but these came out dry, dry, dry. I hate wasting food so I had to figure out a way to make lifeless, cardboard texture muffins into something tasty.
Then it hit me.... CROUTONS! It's crispy dry bread!!! I love croutons for salads soups or just to snack on. Phew.... Wasting a full tin of muffins would have put me in a bad mood!
Here's what I did and they turned out AMAZING! Â Keep in mind you can do this with any bread that's about to go old or already stale
Cut into crouton sized cubes
Place cubed bread on a baking sheet and toss with a light layer of olive oil and any other herbs and seasonings you would like.
I used 2 muffins cut into cubes
2 tbs. of parmesan cheese
Toss all together for an even coat and place into a preheated 425 degree oven. Bake 4 min. Pull out of oven, turn croutons over or shake baking sheet. Place back in the oven another 4 minutes. You'll know they're done when the sides are browned and crispy.
ENJOY! I cubed the leftover 8 muffins and placed them in a baggie and tossed them in the freezer. When you're ready for more croutons pull them out of the freezer and follow the same recipe. You don't have to let the bread defrost!
