Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the whole grain bread into small cubes, approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create an even spice mix.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl. Toss them thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even toasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the sukhariki are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
