Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

In a skillet, saute the onions with the olive oil until lightly browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 3

Melt butter and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Add two or three slices of bread to a food processor and pulse until bread is broken down into crumbs (about the size of rice).

Step 5

Place all of the grated bread into a large bowl. Add the sugar, savoury, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss well to combine.

Step 6

Add in the onions and pour in the melted butter. Use a spatula to toss until the butter and onions have been well incorporated into the bread mixture.

Step 7

Transfer to a baking dish. Bake for 90 minutes or until the bread has browned and has dried a little. It's important to mix the bread thoroughly every 20 minutes during the cooking time.

Step 8

Remove from oven and serve immediately or allow to cool completely if serving as a cold side.
