The Bracha on Homemade Croutons is Hamotzee

Many COR establishments make their own delicious salad croutons. These croutons are made by taking stale bread or bagels, cutting them

into bite-size pieces, adding oil and spices and then re-baking them into a crunchy, toast-like croutons. Sometimes these pieces are larger than a kazayis although most of the time, they are not. The bracha on salad croutons is Hamotzee.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim (168:10) describes a similar product called “Chavitza” which, in one scenario, is described as bread that is cut into pieces and mixed with honey or soup. The Shulchan Aruch paskens that if the pieces are larger than a kazayis the bracha is surely hamotzee. However, if the pieces are smaller than a kazayis then their bracha depends on their appearancewhether they still resemble the original appearance of bread “to’ar lechem”. In the case of our homemade salad croutons, the pieces, even if smaller than a kazayis, certainly resemble bread and the bracha remains hamotzee.

Even when the croutons are placed into a salad, the bracha on the croutons is hamotzee. The only time bread loses its bracha and becomes a tafel to another food is when it is eaten with salty fish. In that unique case, the bread is not desired at all. He merely eats the bread to soothe the burning sensation in his mouth which was created by the salty fish; thereby making the bread a tafel to the fish. However, in any case where the bread is eaten for its taste, the bracha is hamotzee. In our salads, the homemade croutons are eaten for their taste and are not a tafel. A hamotzee should be recited on the croutons and the rest of the salad can be eaten without an additional bracha.

Some establishments cook pieces of bagels in oil (deep fry) and call them bagel chips. In those cases, if, and only if, the pieces are smaller than a kazayis, then the bracha is mezonos even when they retain the appearance of the original bread. If even one of the pieces is larger than a kazayis, then the bracha on that specific piece is hamotzee. In such a situation, the consumer should wash, recite hamotzee, eat the large piece and the rest of the pieces will also be covered by the hamotzee that was recited.
