Succulent Homemade Croutons

• 4 hot dog buns
• 6 tablespoons butter (margarine works fine too)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as tabasco, cholula, etc)

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Put butter or margarine in a medium/large microwavable bowl.
3. Add seasoning salt, garlic salt, and pepper into the bowl with butter, and microwave until melted, about 30-45 seconds.
4. Stir well, add olive oil and hot sauce, and stir well again. (Let sit at room temp while you do next step).
5. Cut up 4 hot dog buns into squares. Dump all cut up bread at once (not little by little) into bowl with butter/spice mix. Stir well with a spoon until all pieces are coated.
6. Line cookie sheet with foil and dump out coated pieces onto foil.
7. At 450 degrees, bake croutons for 8 minutes. Remove and flip/stir. Bake another 4-5 minutes, watching very closely, as they brown fast.
8. These should be hard but light and crispy/airy once you eat it. These will melt in your mouth!
