Ingredients

1 loaf 100% whole wheat bread
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon white sugar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2 Layer bread slices in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets. Allow a bit of room between slices for warm air to circulate.
3 Toast bread in the preheated oven, flipping until evenly dry, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
4 Process bread in a food processor until fine. Add Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and sugar and pulse until just combined.
