How to Make Homemade Croutons
Heat oven to 350°F. Cut bread removed from inside of loaf into small cubes; toss with 1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing. Spread onto bottom of 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake 5 min., stirring after 3 min. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese. Bake 5 to 6 min. or until evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Add to soups or salads. Store leftover croutons in tightly covered container at room temperature.
