Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Stale bread (white, wheat, or sourdough preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut the stale bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Toast the bread cubes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are completely dry but not browned. Stir halfway through for even drying.
Remove the bread cubes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the dried bread cubes to a food processor or blender. Pulse until the bread is finely ground into crumbs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, dried parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture, then toss until the oil is evenly distributed and the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
Store the seasoned breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Use these seasoned breadcrumbs as a topping for Tswilsie or any baked dish, or as a breading for fried or baked foods.
