Croutons

In my humble opinion, everything is better when it's homemade.  These croutons are easy and when made from homemade bread, you know every ingredient in them.  My friend showed me this preferred wok method a few years ago.  Make lots because they tend to disappear from the pan before they make it to the salad...

Recipe:  Croutons

3 cups cubed stale bread
1 Tablespoon olive oil
salt
cayenne pepper (optional)

Heat a wok until it's screaming hot and add the oil and the bread.  Flip the croutons frequently to prevent burning.  Reduce heat and add the salt and cayenne pepper.  Continually flip and turn until all sides are evenly toasted.

Another variation is to substitute garlic powder for the cayenne and add some fresh grated parmesan after cooking.
