how to Make Panzanella Salad

A Few Tips for Panzanella

ANY bread will work for this salad and if your wondering, a stale french bread is probably the most popular as it holds its structure and absorbs all that dressing. You can add butter lettuce, rocket or almost any mixed green to this salad. If making ahead just mix all the main ingredients except the dressing and croutons then add those at the last moment and toss.

frequently asked questions

What Kind of Bread is Used for Panzanella?

The bread usually used for panzanella is stale dried bread, which is then rehydrated with that delicious dressing. My version uses brioche bread for a more light and crispy melt in your mouth experience.

How do you Make Panzanella Croutons?

Cut the crusts off of the brioche loaf. Cut into cubes and put on a baking pan. Drizzle the olive oil and add salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350F. Toss croutons half way through baking. You could also do this on the stovetop. Just toss frequently over medium high heat.
