Every now and then I come a cross a recipe that calls for bread crumbs. I have purchased tubes of them in various flavors and decided that next time I was going to make them. WOW…they are super easy!
Here is what you need:
Bread.
That is it! No other ingredients required.
I just use the heels of my bread. I put them in the freezer in a baggie and when I need some bread crumbs I pull them out. Toast them either in the toaster or in the oven. You don’t want them to get very brown, just enough to dry them out and make them crumb easily.
Toss them in a food processor or blender and pulse for a couple of minutes.
Wha….Lah! You have fresh bread crumbs!
If your recipe calls for Italian bread crumbs, you can add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. I put these in my sweet and sour meatballs and they are perfect!
