Ingredients:

3 tbsps

Olive Oil

Directions:

1

Don't worry about making the crumbs uniform; there's more textural goodness to be had when the crumb size varies

2

Tear about 1/4 of a good loaf of rustic white bread (fresh or day-old) until you've got 2 cups 1" crustless breadcrumbs

3

Pulse in a food processor until crumbs are coarse

4

Toast crumbs in about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, tossing frequently, until crunchy and golden brown, about 5 minutes

5

Season with kosher salt and let cool on a paper towel-lined plate

6

DO AHEAD: Breadcrumbs can be made 1 day ahead

7

Store airtight at room temperature
