Prepare Bread: Begin by taking 12 slices of stale bread and allowing them to air dry. Alternatively, you can place the bread slices on a baking sheet and dry them in the oven at 225°F (107°C).

-
Crumble Bread: Once the bread slices are dry, crumble them into small pieces. You can also use a grater to achieve finer crumbs if desired.
-
Dry Again: After crumbling the bread, allow the crumbs to dry once again. This step ensures that the breadcrumbs are crisp and ready for seasoning.
-
Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the dried breadcrumbs with parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumbs.
-
Storage: Transfer the seasoned breadcrumbs to an airtight container or resealable bag for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for several weeks or stored in the freezer for longer shelf life.
