• 3 cups or so of bread, cut into 1 inch cubes, or another size if you prefer
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper
• Garlic powder

Melt the butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet on medium heat.

When the butter is melted, add the cubed bread.

Stir and turn the bread frequently until it is golden on all sides - about five minutes.

Season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder (but don't burn your mouth on those hot croutons!)
