Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups stale bread
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut the stale bread into small cubes or tear it into pieces.
Spread the bread evenly on a baking sheet and place it in the oven.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is completely dry and lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the baked bread from the oven and let it cool completely.
Transfer the cooled bread to a food processor and pulse until it reaches a fine, crumb-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Store the seasoned bread crumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
