Rye Bread Croutons

Croutons are called grzanki in Polish – the word is plural and means something that have been heated up.

Rye bread croutons are used as a soup accompaniment.

Ingredients

• Several slices of rye bread
• 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (not virgin)

I used some of my own sour dough loaf.

Method

• Pre-heat the oven to GM4  – 180°C
• Cut the bread into small cubes
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
• Toss the bread cubes in the oil and fry gently for a few minutes.

Place the cubes onto a baking tray and put in the oven for around 5 – 10 minutes till golden.

Serving

Add several to each serving of soup.

Sprinkle with salt flakes or ground salt and eat them as a nibble or little snack.
