Steps

1

Cut bread into cubes (size is personal preference. Mine were about an inch or less)
2

Put all the other ingredients in a microwave safe container and microwave 1 minute. Let sit for a minute or two for dried seasonings to bloom.
3

Preheat oven at 350°. Line baking sheet with foil. Put cubed bread in large mixing bowl and while stirring slowly pour butter/olive oil mix over it to coat but not drench bread cubes.
4

Put single layer bread cubes on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Turn oven off and wait 5-10 minutes then remove to cool.
5

When cooled place in airtight container. I used gallon sized zip lock bag.
