You can also dry out the bread before pulsing it to make a finer crumb. Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container until ready to use.

The best tomatoes to use for bruschetta are ripe, firm, and flavorful Roma or San Marzano tomatoes. These varieties have a meaty texture and fewer seeds, which makes them ideal for bruschetta, and their sweet taste balances well with the tangy acidity of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and olive oil. Choose tomatoes that are bright red in color and have a slightly soft feel when gently squeezed. Avoid using overripe or watery tomatoes, as they can make the bread soggy.
