Materials Needed:
- Stale bread
- Knife
- Baking sheet
- Oven
- Optional: Seasonings and toppings of your choice
Step 1: Preparing the Bread
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Take the stale bread and carefully cut off any moldy or extremely hard parts. Slice the remaining bread into smaller, biscuit-sized pieces.
Step 2: Seasoning (Optional)
If you want to add some extra flavor to your biscuits, now is the time to do so. You can sprinkle your favorite seasonings, such as garlic powder, dried herbs, or grated cheese, onto the bread slices. Be creative and experiment with different combinations!
Step 3: Arranging the Biscuits
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. This allows each biscuit to cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
Step 4: Baking
Once the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet in the middle rack and bake the biscuits for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 5: Cooling and Storage
After removing the biscuits from the oven, let them cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, you can store them in an airtight container or ziplock bag for future snacking.
