Notes: I always have some frozen bread in the freezer - maybe half a baguette, the end of a rustic loaf, whatever. Fresh bread is fine, but this is a really great use of leftovers. I love cooking up a small batch of homemade croutons and tossing in a salad while they are still a little warm. Trust me.
