    Instructions

    1
    |
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2
    |
    Cut bread into 3/4 inch pieces.
    3
    |
    Slice your stick of butter into 4 cubes (it melts more evenly this way) and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until the butter is fully melted.
    4
    |
    Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to melted butter. Stir well.
    5
    |
    Place the bread chunks in a large mixing bowl and pour the melted butter mixture over the top, being sure to not pour it all in one place.
    6
    |
    Using your hand or a rubber spatula, gently fold the bread pieces until they’re coated with a bit of the butter and seasoning.
    7
    |
    Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the bread cubes evenly on the pan.
    8
    |
    Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
