12 min prep
Keeps the screen on · step-by-step guide · built-in timer
Tear the stale bread into large pieces, leaving it dry enough to absorb the tomato juices.
Prepare the tomatoes, cucumber, and basil in bite-size pieces.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, and salt together.
Toss the bread and vegetables with the dressing for 1 minute without crushing them.
Let the salad stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then serve with basil.
💡 Tip: Softening the bread lightly rather than fully soaking it gives panzanella its best texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the salad right away with basil scattered on top and a drizzle of olive oil.
