Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes into a large bowl.
4 cups sourdough bread
Drizzle the olive oil over the cubes. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and salt and pepper over the bowl.
2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt & pepper
Mix the bread cubes gently to coat them with the olive oil and seasonings.

Place the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 F for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

Place the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Air fry at 325 F for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

Storage: Allow croutons to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container or glass jar with a lid for up to two weeks.
Re-crisping: Sourdough croutons may become soft during storage. Crisp them in the oven for 5 minutes when eating them later.
Make ahead: Cut the leftover bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a freezer-safe container like a Ziploc freezer bag. Store them for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Too hard or too soft? If croutons are too hard, spritz them with additional olive oil. If they are too soft, allow them to sit uncovered for a while to dry a bit or toast them longer.
