Make Your Own Croutons

We occasionally like to make spinach salads, and more and more, we've been able to find lettuce in our city. I even have a friend who's grown lettuce on her balcony in pots! When you love salad, there's not much you won't do. :)

But for a great salad, you must have croutons. They're so simple to make that I'll never buy them again, not even when we go back to the US.

Homemade Croutons
2 slices of bread
1/4 c. butter (or more, depending on how buttery you want them)

Cut the bread into one inch cubes. Melt the butter in a medium sized bowl. You can season it with garlic powder or roasted garlic, onion powder, pepper, ... Get creative!
Dip each piece of bread in the butter, then place on a baking tray, buttery side up. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they're hardened but not burned.
These are so good! We all fight over the last ones!
