Ingredients
  

  • day old bread cut into cubes
  • olive oil enough to coat the bread cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp ground rosemary

  4. Seal the bag and shake until every cube is coated in the oil and seasonings.
  5. Toast the bread in a large skillet over medium heat until nice and crispy.
