1 loaf gluten-free bread About 14 ounces, cut into 3/4-inch cubes. I like Schar gluten-free bread.
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the loaf of bread into 3/4-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the bread. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well coated.
Spread the bread cubes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're in an even layer and not touching.
Bake for 10 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. If you're using fresh bread, it'll take a little longer to become golden brown. If the bread is stale or dry, it'll brown faster. Please watch your oven at the 10-minute mark.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen.

For dairy-free and vegan: use a bread that's also dairy and egg-free, like Schar gluten-free.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
They can be frozen for up to a month. Defrost on the countertop or in the refrigerator overnight. To re-crisp: broil or bake at 250°F for a few minutes.
