It is already baked bread. Making of it is very simple. First cook bread, then cut them into small pieces having layer of butter on them, then bake them. They are not deep-fried. Frying in little oil will give them buttery flavor and crusty texture. Sometimes other dishes like salads and soups are presented with the croutons.
There are so many available options at home, which can be mixed with croutons like French bread, baguette, sour dough bread and white bread. Here is another kind of croutons named “ polenta”. It is prepared in rectangle shape and is frozen to give it hard shape. Ready-made croutons are also available. Mostly people add garlic, butter and onions to it. Now, don’t think that cutting size does not matter. It varies from “traditional cut” to “restaurant style” to “generous cut” to “premium.”
