Homemade Seasoned Bread Crumbs

The are no real measurements to this...

Preheat oven to 350*

Take your sliced bread crusts that have been saved from day old bread or sandwiches. Cube the bread ends and lay on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Place in preheated oven and allow to "dry out" for about 10-15 minutes; turning once to make sure the bread is evenly dried.

Once bread is dried, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Place the dried bread into the food processor. Using the chopping blade pulse the dried bread until you have a crumb texture. You may want to pulse longer for finer crumbs or shorter for chunky crumbs; this is totally your preference.

If you want to season your bread crumbs, do so before you begin pulsing and adjust seasoning according to your desired taste.

Store crumbs in an airtight jar or zip top bag.
