Ingredients

  • 4 cups Stale Bread (cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Berbere Spice Blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C.
  2. 2In a large bowl, add the 4 cups of stale bread cubes. Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread cubes. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of berbere spice blend and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt on top.
  3. 3Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss everything together until the bread cubes are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
  4. 4Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Make sure they are not piled on top of each other.
  5. 5Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the bread cubes halfway through the cooking time.
  6. 6The bread cubes are done when they are crispy and have turned a golden brown color. They should feel dry to the touch.
  7. 7Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Dabo Kolo cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This will help them become extra crunchy.
