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
I was thinking of getting an air fryer, but I was missing additional applications. I think you might have convinced me.
Get a toaster oven air fryer, not as good as being an air fryer but we make dinner in that thing almost daily
It also makes amazing tofu. 20 min at 400 gives it an actual texture. No pressing or freezing required.
Air fryer is also great to make a quick garlic bread.
Garlic bread tastes really great,
Eat it from a bowl or off of your plate.
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
Well look at Mr. Never Had The Roof Of Their Mouth Cut By Sharp Edges over here!
The secret is teeth
Teeth are assholes! If I had a money for everytime they bit the inside of my cheek, I'd have many many monies.
Luxury bones.
You are not supposed to drink your salad.
Don't tell me how to consommé my salad!
If you can eat captain crunch, you can eat a crouton.
I can't eat both
Practice
Skill issue!
The French: how can we put bread in this?

"I wish this was remotely tasty and filling"
You need better salads in your life. Goat cheese, bacon, egg or sun dried tomatoes are great additions that contribute to it being filling.
Wdym? Salads are delicious, especially if they include croutons
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"
Fair enough 😅 I don't know dude, I just love salads and croutons either together or separately, you know? They're just so tasty
Pain always adds a little pizazz to the finer things in life 😉
Bread should always hurt. If crust doesn't nearly break a tooth, it's shit bread.
The French understood this. That's why they call it "pain".
I cut my lip on a sandwich at the bakery yesterday, tipped extra.
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.
Croutons were made mainly for soup, or ?
How are you eating croutons that give you the ouchy?
Try melba toast
I remember when I was an insufferable kid asking mom to buy McDonald's salads just for the little bag of croutons
Haha I did this too but for chic fil a bell pepper crisps.
Gum blood is just extra seasoning
gotta have your gums looked at or something. its fucking delicious.
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.
