Ingredients

• Any old bread (the more stale the better)
• Salt
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300℉.
2. Cut or tear the bread into ½ inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, toss with salt and olive oil. You don’t need to soak the bread, but don’t be shy with the oil. You want the bread cubes to be well-coated: the fat is what keeps them from turning into rocks.
3. Bake on a sheet tray until GBD (golden brown delicious) and completely dry throughout. Check after 20 minutes.
4. Once the bread cubes are cool, pulse them in a food processor into coarse crumbs. Be careful not to make a paste.
5. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
