Pangrattato

Pangrattato is a crunchy topping made by toasting breadcrumbs with fresh rosemary, garlic-infused olive oil, and salt. It delivers a crisp texture and aromatic flavor from the rosemary and garlic. This simple preparation transforms stale bread into a flavorful garnish useful for sprinkling over salads, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Description

The recipe for Pangrattato starts with pulsing stale bread slices and fresh rosemary into coarse breadcrumbs, providing texture and herbal aroma. The olive oil is gently infused with whole garlic cloves over low heat before being discarded, leaving a subtle garlic taste. Cooking the breadcrumbs in this garlic-flavored oil until browned creates a crisp topping with savory depth. Finishing with fine salt enhances the flavors and balances the taste.

This breadcrumb mixture can be used to add crunch and flavor to various dishes such as pasta, roasted vegetables, or salads. Pangrattato offers a practical way to use up stale bread while adding complexity to meals.
