Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Place in the oven and bake for an hour to an hour and a half until the bread is completely dried out.
Once cooled, run the bread through a food processor with the fine shredding blade to make fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.

Place the stick of butter in a large frying pan over medium high heat. The butter will melt and then begin to foam, swirl pan for even cooking.

Continue heating until butter solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 5-8 minutes.

Remove the browned butter from the heat and immediately add the anchovies. Using a wooden spoon, break down the anchovies until they dissolve.

Add the minced garlic to the browned butter and season well with salt.

Add the breadcrumbs to the butter mixture in the pan and return to the heat, over medium heat.

Toast the breadcrumbs until they are golden and toasty and dried out.

Remove breadcrumbs from the pan and place on a large plate or baking sheet to cool.

Once completely cooled, store in an airtight jar in the fridge.These toasty, smoky, garlicky, salty breadcrumbs are incredible on everything. Add them to pastas, salads, roasted veggies, or anything else you like! Enjoy!
