To make the rosemary croutons you'll need bread (your fave) dried or fresh rosemary, olive oil and black pepper. Simply cut or tear the bread into pieces and put them onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with black pepper and then drizzle with olive oil. Next put them into the oven and bake until dried and golden brown. The smell as these croutons bake is incredible.
