Homemade Bread Crumbs

 


You Will Need:

  • 1-2 cups of leftover bread crumbled (I used 4-5 day old homemade bread)
  • about 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • sprinkle of garlic powder
  • sprinkle of Italian seasonings (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 300 degrees, in a bowl combine ingredients, spread crumb mixture evenly on a sheet pan, cook for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to turn over the crumbs, stir around and spread evenly again on the pan cook another 5 minutes, turn over the crumbs and stir around again, and cook again until desired crispness about 5 more minutes, let cool, then store in plastic bag or container for use in recipes. Can be frozen up to 3 months. If using from freezer, let them thaw on paper towels before use in recipes, you can also re-crisp them if needed, in the oven for 5 minutes or until crispy.




I love to put these bread crumbs on top of my salads, I use them now instead of Ritz Crackers, they give a salty-sweet taste and a little bit of cracker crispiness.

Enjoy!
