Ingredients:

• 1 cup cubed bread: Use day-old bread for the best texture. Cube the bread into 1-inch pieces.
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated for the best flavor.
  
• 2 tablespoons melted butter: For adding richness and aiding the cheese to stick to the bread.
  
• Salt and pepper: To taste, for seasoning.

Equipment:

• Homtone pizza oven with toast function.
  
• Mixing bowl.
  
• Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot trays.
  
• Baking sheet or enameled baking tray.
  
• Serving plate.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Bread Cubes
Cube the Bread: Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes. This ensures even cooking and a great crunchy texture.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a Mixing Bowl: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl.
Add Cheese and Butter: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and melted butter to the bowl.
Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the bread mixture.
Toss to Combine: Use a large spoon or your hands to toss the bread cubes until they are evenly coated with the cheese, butter, and seasonings.

Step 3: Arrange on Baking Tray
Prepare the Baking Tray: Lightly grease your baking sheet or enameled baking tray with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Spread the Bread Cubes: Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on the tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for even roasting and crispiness.

Step 4: Toast the Croutons
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to the TOAST function at 375°F (190°C).
Toast: Place the tray in the oven and toast for 10-12 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Check them halfway through and use tongs to flip or stir the croutons for even cooking.

Step 5: Cool and Serve
Cool: Remove the tray from the oven and let the croutons cool for a few minutes to allow them to crisp up further.
Serve: Transfer the croutons to a serving plate and enjoy them fresh from the oven.

Tips for Making Parmesan Croutons:

• Bread Selection: Day-old bread works best as it's less likely to become soggy during the roasting process.
  
• Cheese Coating: Make sure each crouton is well-coated with the cheese mixture for a rich flavor.
  
• Roasting Time: Keep an eye on the croutons as they roast to prevent burning. The exact time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  
• Cooling: Allowing the croutons to cool slightly after roasting helps them achieve a crispier texture.
