Ingredients
• 4 cups whole-grain bread (stale or toasted), torn into chunks
• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispness)
• ¼ tsp sea salt (optional)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, for savory version)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) — or skip if using a food processor only.
- If bread isn’t stale, spread chunks on a baking sheet and bake 10–12 min until dry and crisp (not browned). Cool 5 min.
- Pulse cooled bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form (10–20 sec). Add olive oil, salt, and/or garlic powder; pulse 2–3 times to combine (optional).
- For extra-dry crumbs: Return to oven (spread on sheet) for 5 min—then cool completely before storing.
- Store in an airtight container: up to 2 weeks at room temp, 3 months frozen.
