I improvised homemade croutons by tossing cubed bread in spiced oil and then toasting in toaster oven. They were yummy but got soggy almost immediately upon hitting the soup. Is there any trick to getting the crispiness to last longer or is this just the fate of croutons?
Thanks!

Did you use stale bread?
I think also if you maybe let them sit for a few days in an airtight container, they might have stayed crispy a bit longer.

When I put homemade croutons in the soup, I drop each one onto the spoon individually. It sounds silly, but I haven't found any other solution for the sogginess

The bread was fresh and I made them the same time as the soup.
Would stale have been better or worse?

I don't know the science or reasoning behind it (if there is) but dry or stale leftover bread is usually used in lieu of fresh bread. Maybe try it next time and report back to us?

How long did you toast them for?

I have a great recipe for super easy croutons!
take pita bread ( I always have some leftover in the freezer and it doesn't matter if its old)
cut in half (so its open)
then cut it in triangle wedges
sprinkle oil - abit of salt and garlic powder
bake in the oven for 5-10 min until crispy
its always great and since its pita bread - very thin it doesn't become soggy !!
its a favorite by us and takes seconds to prepare!

Toasted until they got brown and toasty. Some started to burn... I never have pita to spare, they get snapped up so fast! Bread is easier/cheaper.

the trick is not to put to much oil, & toast it on a lower temp for longer
so it gets crispy inside out. g`luck.
