Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of gluten-free bread (stale or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Cut the gluten-free bread into 1-inch cubes. If the bread is fresh, leave the cubes out for a few hours to dry slightly. Stale bread works best.
- Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the bread on a baking pan in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cubes are completely dry and golden.
- Blend into Crumbs: Allow the toasted bread cubes to cool. Place them in a food processor along with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs (if using). Pulse until the desired crumb size is achieved—coarse or fine, depending on your preference.
- Store the Crumbs: Transfer the bread crumbs to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
