Peppery Torn Homemade Croutons
What is The Soup Series if not for the hand-torn, rustic, homemade croutons that you can pile into your cozy bowls of steaming fall weather goodness?
The bites are a perfect combination of crispy and chewy. They’re infused with flavor thanks to the garlic, olive oils, and a generous amount of black and salt pepper. These bites are the perfect balance of crunchy meat, olive oil-soaked, chewy, and salty. They beg to be dunked and dipped and then popped in your mouth repeatedly.
Simple Rustic Goodness
You may be wondering why it’s important to use the torn/pulled-apart crouton. It is because the rustic, raggedy edges allow the bread texture to remain open and READY. This allows the garlic and olive oil mixtures in the croutons and bread pockets. The knife can squish all the bags when you cut through and cube the bread. This prevents the olive oil from sneaking in and may result in a less appealing texture.
These BBS are crunchy without being stabbed?… on the roof of your lips. They don’t dry out because they are dripping with olive oil.
You can also get a wide range of sizes and shapes by using the torn-apart technique. Every ‘ton will be different! It’s like snowflakes but much more rewarding. It’s just too much. We wanted to tell you about the little crispy bits that break off from the edges of the bread pieces and become the delicious little salty pepper soup crispies. We’d cry. We could cry.
