Homemade Italian Bread Crumbs
Ingredients:
Any leftover bread, rolls or bread end pieces
Oregano
Basil
Garlic Powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Tear bread up into little pieces and put on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees until the bread pieces feel dry and crispy, about 15-18 minutes.
Put the baked bread pieces into the food processor in batches. Until bread crumbs are starting to form.
Add basil, oregano and garlic powder to taste. (I had 6 cups of bread and used a about 3/4 teaspoon of each.)
Pulse until the bread turn into finer crumbs.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer and use in your favorites recipes!
