Ingredients

  • 4 cups San Francisco style sourdough bread, cut into 3/4" pieces (1 lb)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (2 fl oz)
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced (12 grams)
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot (small bubbles should begin to form and rise), add sliced garlic and thyme sprigs. Allow them to cook for 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat and rest until the oil is no longer sizzling and bubbling. Strain out and discard the garlic and thyme, reserving the olive oil; set aside.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  • Toss the bread chunks with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 14-18 minutes or until golden, flipping once halfway through.
