      The problem is that store bought croutons have normalized being dry, hard bullets. It’s not like that when they’re made fresh. They’re beautiful little pieces of buttered texture in your salad.

        Fresh croutons are one of the single best advantages of an air fryer

        Part-baked baguette cut into chunks, spray with olive oil, six minutes, shake after three. Nothing else needed

        A crouton is actually supposed to be that dry. It’s literaly in the name. A crouton is a piece of bread that’s so dry and old you can’t eat it, so you break it into pieces and put it in your other food

        Get a spray bottle or just coat your hand in water. Get a plate of croutons lightly moist. Then, just microwave it for about 30 seconds.

        There you doctored the croutons from “being a pain” to something regular normies can enjoy

      You need better salads in your life. Goat cheese, bacon, egg or sun dried tomatoes are great additions that contribute to it being filling.

        It wasn’t entirely serious, obviously there are both tasty and filling salads. Just that I am fairly sure that croutons exist because at some point someone chewed down on a pile of lettuce and thought “this ain’t it”

    Bread should always hurt. If crust doesn’t nearly break a tooth, it’s shit bread.

    Store bought croutons are shelf stable bread. Go read any travel diary from the 1800’s. It’s never been good. Real croutons are not shelf stable and do not cut your mouth.

    I remember when I was an insufferable kid asking mom to buy McDonald’s salads just for the little bag of croutons

    We don’t need croutons for salads to hurt us - having to eat unprocessed vegetables already makes me cry.

      Just drench that shit in salty/vinegary oil, let it sit there for a few mins, enjoy your pre-digested salad and get fat with vegetables in the process.
