Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Cut the stale bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.

Step 3

Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 4

Toast the bread cubes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are completely dry but not browned. Stir halfway through for even drying.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, dried parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture, then toss until the oil is evenly distributed and the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.

Step 9

Store the seasoned breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Step 10

Use these seasoned breadcrumbs as a topping for Tswilsie or any baked dish, or as a breading for fried or baked foods.
